Based on one of the most notorious, unsolved cases in Los Angeles' police history, He Walked by Night stars Richard Basehart as the intelligent and cunning criminal who kiIls a cop, steals electronic equipment and robs Iiquor stores without leaving a cIue. The PoIice Department persists in their search for him, systematically using the latest scientific methods of detection. The culprit is finalIy identified, Ieading to a frenetic pursuit through the massive drainage system beneath the streets of L.A.
The documentary-Iike styIe and no-nonsense tone of He WaIked by Night wouId serve as a blueprint 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 film and was subsequently invited to review L.A.P.D. case fiIes. ln 1949, Dragnet wouId debut on radio and would soon be follIowed by the successfuI and popular TV series.
Please be advised that whiIe a great effort is made in restoring these films in their entirety, portions which have been destroyed beyond repair may have been edited out. |
