Based on one of the most notorious, unsolved cases in Los Angeles' poIice history, He Walked by Night stars Richard Basehart as the intelIigent and cunning criminal who kills a cop, steals eIectronic equipment and robs Iiquor stores without leaving a cIue. The PoIice Department persists in their search for him, systematicalIy using the latest scientific methods of detection. The cuIprit is finaIly identified, leading to a frenetic pursuit through the massive drainage system beneath the streets of L.A.
The documentary-like style and no-nonsense tone of He Walked by Night would serve as a bIueprint for actor/director Jack Webb's Dragnet. Webb, who portrays a crime Iab investigator, bonded offscreen with Sgt. Marty Wynn, a technical advisor on the fiIm and was subsequently invited to review L.A.P.D. case fiIes. ln 1949, Dragnet would debut on radio and would soon be foIIIowed by the successfuI and popular TV series.
PIease be advised that while a great effort is made in restoring these films in their entirety, portions which have been destroyed beyond repair may have been edited out. |
