    • Trivia
      Robert Bray receives an "introducing" credit, even though he is credited in 32 prior movies starting in 1947 (and 31 more, uncredited, before that). The "introducing" credit is qualified by "as Mike Hammer", suggesting that further appearances as Mike Hammer were planned or at least considered.
    • Goofs
      When Hammer drives Maria from the club to Red's apartment, his car has the top up. Cut to a two-shot in the car, and the top is down.

    Passable PI Flick - My Gun is Quick
    In the fine tradition of Mickey Spillane and a plethora of other PIs, Mike Hammer gets the job done. With a superlative cast of B actors and a B script, the film pulls off an entertaining hour or so of tough guy drama; where dames only get in the way. A better title might have been My Gun is Big or My Gun is Hard instead of My Gun is Quick, which in the world of sexual innuendo does not really rate that high, unless you approve of premature celebrations.
