The Kefauver Commission(This unique Los Angeles crime story suffered a troubled release in 1955 due to the Kefauver Congressional Commission, led by Senator Estes Kefauver, who issued a special condemnation of KISS ME DEADLY as immoral entertainment responsible for juvenile delinquency. Kefauver became the running mate of Democratic nominee Adlai Stevenson in the 1956 presidential election and suffered a landslide defeat against Eisenhower and Nixon.) called it a film "designed to ruin young viewers" :eek:
The film has been cited as a major influence on a number of filmmakers, including Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Alex Cox, and Quentin Tarantino.

In my top 5 favourite films, down at luck guys driving a truck hauling dynamite over very treacherous terrain.
Doesn’t sound much but as always, devils in the detail.
Nailbiting stuff, not seen this in at least ten years.
William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist) did an English language remake called “The Sorceror” with Roy Sheider in 1977, but doesn’t come close to the original.
If you like this, top tip also check out “Les Diaboliques” by the same Director.
