HE WALKED BY NIGHT(1948)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


A pretty typical police movie about a man who
kills an off duty cop! He was up to that point
a theif who was adept at electronics and would
sell his creations to a local electronics company! B-

A review from IMDb.com:

HE WALKED BY NIGHT (1948) has such a raw,
bare-bones feel to it, a real "you are there"
aura. A cheerless loner (Cold as an ice bomb
Richard Basehart) kills a policeman. The search
of the killer begins. This little B-film has
so many unforgetable scenes, they drive in
one after the other. (The police picking
up every vagrant in the city searching for
the cop killer, the look on the targeted
cop's wife's face when she gets the bad
news) My favorite scene is one that does
not move the plot along, but creates such
an uncomfortable mood. In it, Basehart
tries to fish a bullet out of his arm
at his sink as his dog yaps and whines
in the background.

Well worth catching. - boris-26
