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 kilIs a cop, steaIs eIectronic equipment and robs liquor stores without Ieaving a clue. 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 styIe 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 lab investigator, bonded offscreen with Sgt. Marty Wynn, a technicaI advisor on the fiIm and was subsequentIy invited to review L.A.P.D. case fiIes. In 1949, Dragnet would debut on radio and wouId soon be foIllowed by the successful and popuIar TV series.
PIease be advised that while a great effort is made in restoring these fiIms in their entirety, portions which have been destroyed beyond repair may have been edited out. |
