(NOIR) He Walked By Night - 1948 ***



This was a surprisingly good movie. It's set out in a sort of semi-documentary way about a crook who murders a policeman and the subsequent chase between him and the police that leads them all to the underground. It has a hint of 'The Third Man' in it, and obviously the latter trumps this by 100%, but I was still fascinated by it and one particular scene where the killer sits in wait in his darkened room, his dog snarling at the window as the police close in on him. It's really thrilling.

A good film, exciting and gripping.
