The Girl Hunters is a 1962 Mike Hammer pulp novel made into a movie in 1963. Mickey Spillane himself played his creation, Mike Hammer (one of the few occasions in film history in which an author of a popular literary hero has portrayed his own character). It also starred Bond girl (Goldfinger), Shirley Eaton, and actor Lloyd Nolan. Perhaps an early version of product placement occurs in the film when Spillane and Nolan share a couple of cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon in the film.

It is not uncommon for a Panther Girl to capture: another Band's Panther Girl, a male who was looking to do the same to her, or an escaped slave who was seeking refuge in the woods.
When dealing with men, however, the girls usually demanded, and received, goods of greater value to them, usually knives, arrow points, small spear points; sometimes armlets, and bracelets and necklaces, and mirrors; somtimes slave nets and slave traps, to aid in their hunting; sometimes slave chains, and manacles, to secure their catches.
Such captive males are often used for the sexual pleasure of their captors for a brief period, after which their heads are shaved with a two-inch wide stripe from the forehead to the nape of the neck.
Spillane, who brings the grace of a trained monkey and the sex appeal of a Bronx cheer to the role, is less a stoic, tarnished street knight than a street bum at a cocktail party, but it works for the working-class pug.
In 1964, the year after THE GIRLHUNTERS was made, Shirley Eaton played the gold-painted corpse in the James Bond movie Goldfinger.
In THE GIRLHUNTERS she plays the widow of a murdered politician and spends most of her time running around in skimpy bikinis that wouldn't seem overly modest forty years later.
