I, the Jury
1953 · 87 MIN · IMDB 6.1 · 431 VOTES · DIR. Harry Essex
Overview
After his best friend and war buddy is mysteriously gunned down, Mike Hammer will stop at nothing to settle the score for the man who sacrificed a limb to save his own life during combat. Along the way, Hammer rides a fine line between gumshoe and a one-man jury, staying two-steps ahead of the law—and trying not to get bumped off in the process.

00:02:38 - Where do you think you're going? - I'm Mike Hammer.
00:06:24 I couldn't stop screaming.
00:10:33 Because I know you for a phoney.
00:14:05 My name's Mike Hammer.
00:16:42 Oh, this time I'm just sizing up the suspects.
00:22:50 I've got the strawberry birth mark.
00:26:10 He used me up quick.
00:29:10 Him and his girl, Myrna, used to come in here often.
00:32:53 Jack was no cop, he was an insurance investigator.
00:37:20 "Ask CM. She can help."
00:41:11 Let's just say I'm a friend.
00:44:34 so I sent them over to this company for a check.
00:47:21 Don't you?
00:50:20 It was dreadful.
00:53:36 Oh, now simmer down, Bobo, I can't follow you.
00:56:30 She's not like me.
01:00:44 Okay, Pat, I'll tell him.
01:04:22 The box felt heavy and for good reason.
01:06:55 She's in the dark room and you can't go in there.
01:10:34 I wanted to go too but they wouldn't take me, Jack.
01:15:20 You recognise me, Bigmouth?
01:19:45 Pick up Myrna Devlin, furnish description.
01:24:21 Just to have.
01:27:52 and I had my memories.
