Nowhere near as good as 'Slander' this noir, set as part drama and part documentary, follows the police's efforts in vain to catch a serial killer named 'The Judge' who kills anyone he pleases, without rhyme or reason. The detectives construct a faceless dummy to try and help the police with the investigation. Many 'witnesses' who come forward and see the dummy from the back, are definite that the faceless man is the killer, until it is turned around for them to see. Power of suggestion is a terrifying thing.
It's not the cleverest noir, and this sort of idea has already been done over and over again.
