★★★★★ · Greatest Ending on Earth · The Spanman · 2023-03-10
Pat O’Brien, Mickey Spillane and the rest of the cast make for a great film. A psychopathic murderer escapes from an asylum and joins up with the big top. He continues his criminal behavior and animal cruelty. I won’t ruin the ending by giving it away, but revenge is a dish best served cold, or at least at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit!
