He Walked by Night (1948) Crime Thriller, Film-Noir | Full Length Movie 

P0

Thank you! 😃👍👍

Pm

Ok

I can't remember if I've seen this before. I think I better watch it.

The camera work of John Alton. He was a staple of Noir.

Mr Drucker is still alive

Richard Basehart pre wrinkled 😅 his voice was great.

This movie came out in 1948 and won a prize. The Third Man came out the next year. The storm drains andt the sewers, coincidence

I noticed the coincidence as well.

@@annskinner8467 Well, in the USA. In UK I imagine its release was the same year.

The great john alton was the cinematographer, he was perhaps the best when it came to film noir movies. Look at his track record.

Well said. Unfortunately we have idiots colourising bw films. They have no regard for even bog standard films that cinematography engineers do & using light & shade which you lose in a colourisation wash. Imagine that we could lose it all unless action is took on RU-vid that preserves a bw original.

@@randyacuna3248 detest that Film Noir term as it pigeon holes everything. A film is a film in its genre ie Thriller, Western, Comedy.. it's one thing I would be glad to lose from the film making era.

@@seltaeb9691 most film fans accept the words film noir for the dark side of characters and atmosphere. It fits.

Don't leave out The Untouchables and Outer Limits.

He does, doesn't he? But he can't really be that much younger, since the TV series began in 1951, only 3 years later.

@@mustafazubair2679 Jack Webb LOOKS much younger here.. He oozes youthfulness in a way he did not in DRAGNET.

I liked him better here 🤣

CORRECT. YES. BRILLIANT CLOSE UPS JUST LIKE IN DAY OF THE JACKAL.

I LOVED Day of the Jackal. I'd barely heard of it, then got to see it here . . .

YOU CAN TURN OFF YOUR CAPS now.

I was discussing Dragnet with my friend the other day and he asked me to watch this classic. According to him, Jack Webb got the inspiration for Dragnet by talking to one of the actual police officers consulted for this movie.

I came across this. Erwin Walker, damage by the Japanese, radio man took a turn for the worse when he got back to the USA. and starting doing just that, it seems the film was based on him You will have to google.

Glad you enjoyed it!

A young.Admiral Nelson , stirring up trouble before his days on the SEAVIEW .

Good old Gypsy...I miss her and the other bots

@@chickamauga1 Who doesn't Pleter? Still classic, timeless and hilarious. All together now.... "Cambot, Gypsy, ED-209( !), Tom Servo, CROWWW........".

John Alton nuff said

I watched these wonderful films in the 1950s as a 9yr old. Loved them then and love them now. I'm not alone there r millions of baby boomers.a shout out to all of you survivers.

Thanks !

@@rickbrowning7059 I watched a lot more late show movies than I had any business doing when I was 11 - 15 or so.. It was an interesting era.

Hari Govind Varma ???? I am curious now ... I wander if i saw this !

Wonder who got to keep his dog 🐶

The music convinced me!

😂😂

Paws McGee. Been running a bones racket throughout the neighborhood, and urinating on hydrants. We finally got him.

bones racket just sounds funny..hah

You Must Be Joking, It Is Only A Movie

Omg that’s so sad!

Newsreel documentaries were hot back hence some of these post war noir opening like one.

If its a true story, how do they know he did that?

@@sharksport01 In moviespeak, "based on a true story" means that it has some glancing connection to what probably actually happened.

oui

This is the movie that inspired webb to do Dragnet.

They actually used the word dragnet twice right after the cop was killed.

❤🍿

1948 , the middle of the golden age of film noir.

Superentretenido, junto y sin tilde. Súper. Entretenido.

Erwin Walker’s life was an adventure itself. He was eventually released and became a chemist.

@@tomc642 who's Erwin Walker?

@@karenhill3970 The movie is somewhat based on the story of Erwin Walker.

The crook hiding in the sewers was always my favorite part of the movie.

Cámara, con tilde.

Podía, con tilde. Está, con tilde. Pérdida, con tilde.

Yes, there is a great similarity, but I am sure that it is just coincidence. When this film was released in 1948 Graham Greene was in Vienna working on the Third Man script and being shown the sights, including the sewers, and I doubt he watched this movie for inspiration - he didn't need inspiration from other people. The similarity of cinematography is again coincidence. John Alton who filmed He Walked By Night was Hungarian with a European sensibility of vision and Robert Krasker who filmed The Third Man was an Australian who had worked in Paris and Dresden and was heavily influenced by the same European film noir vision as Alton.

Yes, what an insane clown Walker was. A true killer and he was PAROLED!!! California is such a weird place.

thanks for the info, I will google that name.

The Reeves character was loosely based on Willard Starr. Starr wasn't gullible though. He realised the gear he was being offered had been stolen and promptly notified the police.

Fué.

Third Man was later.

R.I.P James, sorry hollywood eats brains and spits ya out. if you dont have big bucks in ya account and making bollywood attention you are fish food for the streets. Money seems to be humans highest value on each others heads in hierarchy statis.

Película, con tilde. Fantasía, con tilde. Policía, con tilde. Época, con tilde. Tecnología, con tilde. Clásico, con tilde. 😤👎
