HE WALKED BY NIGHT
|
Filmed in a semi-documentary style
(and partially directed by Anthony
Mann) and based on a true police
case, this is a taut, engrossing
suspense drama that deals with a
battle of wits between the Los
Angeles Police and a true criminal
genius. Richard Basehart is the man
who "walked by night," a highly
intelligent and clever individual, with
an expertise in electronics and
police tactics. His anti-social
behavior (which include killing one
policeman and crippling another)
make him the object of the Los
Angeles Police...a manhunt that is
all the more difficult when the
subject leaves no clues and has
never been photographed! The
manhunt comes to its conclusion in
the great pipes of the L.A. sewer
system. 79 minutes, B/W, 1948.
