He Walked by Night, the 1948 Alfred L. Werker Los Angeles California crime film noir thriller ("From the homicide files of the Los Angeles Police"; "Savage! Searing! True!"; "Savage TRUTH! Stronger than Fiction!"; "In the watery darkness of the massive sewers that wind tortuously beneath Los Angeles a man flees for his life. Now he stops - waiting, listening, his finger tense about the trigger of his gun. Suddenly - he whirls - fires blindly into the blackness! The thundering blast echoes and re-echoes through the tunnel, bouncing maddeningly from wall-to-wall, and in the blazing flash we see him - Savage, brutal - this is the killer who has struck again and again - the killer the police have hunted,patiently, skillfully, courageously - relentlessly tying each tiny clue, every shred and strand of evidence into an evertightening net. Now it's closing... they have him cornered again, fighting desperately for his life... deadly, defiant, unafraid!"; "He held a loaded gun at the heart of a great city!"; "Original Story by Crane Wilbur"; the movie is told in a documentary style fashion with narration, and the viewer follows the police's efforts, a technique which has been much imitated since!) starring Richard Basehart, Scott Brady (billed as "Scott 'Canon City' Brady"), Roy Roberts, Whit Bissell, James Cardwell, and Jack Webb. Note that this movie gave Jack Webb one of his first significant roles, but more significantly, he adapted the documentary-style of this movie when he created his Dragnet radio show the following year (which of course later moved to television with great success). This movie can be seen as the precursor to all of the modern police shows like "Law and Order", even though it is only remembered by film buffs today.
