...There are only victims and villains, and it's often not easy to tell them apart. A guy named Joe (Dennis O'Keefe) has been wrongly imprisoned, fingered by his old pals.

(As novelist Mirian Ann Moore says, "Nobody ever hit a noun against a verb like Mickey Spillane...
...sure about the S&M equestrian duds.) But I have to say - Madonna on the cross? A laughable non-event. It was so innocuous I don't even think Mel Gibson could have objected. I kind of admire her for managing to stir up the headlines. Ann Coulter had to do it by trashing 9/11 widows...
