Thank you! 😃👍👍

Ok
I can't remember if I've seen this before.
I think I better watch it.
Notice the interesting camera angles. High angle shots, low angle shots, wide angles. The use of light in the sewer. The direction is excellent.
The camera work of John Alton. He was a staple of Noir.
Just this single frame shows the wonderful lighting techniques which I enjoy so much in these movies, Alfred Hitchcock movies, and in Twilight Zone episodes.
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 RUclips 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.
Guy went out in a blaze of glory. Ya ain't taking me coppa!!!
This is absolutely the best-looking print of this film I have come across online!
Thank you so much for sharing it.
One of Richard Basehart's best films. He displays calm self confidence very well......in some ways he reminds me of Edward Fox in "Day of the Jackal".
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 . . .
Mr. Basehart is a very underrated actor. He is marvelous in this film. Great in Fourteen Hours and others, but my favorite is as The Fool in Fellini's La Strada. And yes, I adored him as Admiral Nelson and as the bad guy in Satan Bug. He would have been a wonderfully evil, psychotic Bond villain!
And Jack Webb does look very young. Great film filled with great actors, including, I believe, Mr. Drucker from Green Acres/Petticoat Junction.
Thank you very much.
Mr Drucker is still alive
Richard Basehart pre wrinkled 😅 his voice was great.
Such a great underrated movie. You can really see “Dragnet” being born here and where Jack Webb got the idea for his great radio and television series 👍
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.
Always one step ahead of the cops. Had me yelling at the screen first time I saw this. Very absorbing film.
Seeing this dog beg for his food reminds me of my Sunny Boy. I would fix us two plates of food just alike and put his on the floor by my chair. He wouldn’t eat his food until I showed him that his plate had the same food on it as mine did.🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶😅😅😅😅
Great film, great script, great acting - it scores a Spinal Tappy 11/10. Plus I always love the fact that Gypsy on MST3K had an ongoing thing for Richard Basehart (who'll ALWAYS be Admiral Nelson to some of us - able to spout any old scientific bs and make it plausible). Thank you for uploading - really appreciated.
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........".
Enjoyed watching this, the late Richard Baseheart from the later Irwin Allen tv series’Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea .
Gripping!! A thrilling ride.. Right until the end. 👏 Wonderful!
Hey. He said we’ll see what they picked up in the dragnet. It just now occurred to me why they called the movie series Dragnet. All the movies listed in the series are the ones that the dragnet brought in. 😅😅😅
Dragnet, Beverly Hillbillies, represented here.
Suspense and good acting instead of special effects made the best movies
The dog was later arrested as an accomplice and sentenced to life. He died at the Los Angeles pound in 1957.
😂😂
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!
That dog deserves an oscar
Taut script, marvellously icy performance by Richard Basehart and superb cinematography by Jon Alton. If you liked the look of this film then you should watch The Amazing Mr. X @ also shot by John Alton.
This was made around the same time as”The Third Man”. The chase in the storm water drain is almost a direct copy.
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.
I can't get over how young Jack Webb looks in this movie (crime lab guy). I always loved him in "DRAGNET".
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 🤣
A thoroughly enjoyable, well made B movie from 1948, based on a true story which always makes for good viewing. Love the sequence where they get the witnesses to help build up an image of the man they are hunting. Then there is the outstanding chase in the storm drains, brilliantly lit by the lights of the torches, the tension mounts and mounts. They were hunting a man not known to police previously, so it took a lot of work to track him down. A really good film 75 years ago.
The best part of all these old films is when the mafia is referred to as"the syndicate" and a gun is called "a heater" .
Released in 1948, probably shot in '47. With TV only a few years away, take Jack Webb out of the lab and give him a badge, you've got Friday and Dragnet, possibly the first police procedural on the small screen.
Love "Noir Genre" flicks, and this one was a doozie! A little bit of "The Third Man" feel, with the storm drain sequence. Good one!
Brilliant movie, thanks for posting this.👍
OMG! The director had someone tape the dog’s upper jowls to make it look like it was growling at the “milkman” @ 1:03:17 !!! If you stop the video there, you can see the tape shining a bit on his snout about halfway between his nose and his eyes! 😡
OMG!! 1940's... So glad animals are treat better now a days, although there is still SO much more to do and change worldwide. Hugs to you! 🐶🐶🐶
these days they use peanut butter.
Good acting from the villain as he sews up his own bullet wound. 😬
This movie had alot of actors in it that was not particularly big when this movie was made. Great movie... Thanks for uploading it..
Richard Basehart..so sweet to the cute doggie.....but diabolical & evil...murderer....shotPoliceman on his way home ..just doing HIS job...couldnt believe! Such a nice looking young man" he said to bystander.....sad!! 😳😳🌹🌹This is based on true story.....so glad they catch him big time in the end!!!!!
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.
Brilliant movie, highly absorbing, not a single dull moment. Thanks for posting👍
The final 8 minutes in particular are pure inspiration for The Third Man, made a year later.
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.
They got the bad guy without DNA. Amazing! 😂
anyone who is intrested in film Noir should watch this film, specially for the camera work of John Alton...
My favorite film noir, and based somewhat on a real life criminal “Erwin Walker”. His story was fascinating in itself, see Wikipedia. Btw, he was not killed.
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.
Excellent film. Acting , script , photography a believable plot . Great stuff ….cheers !
Súper entretenido y didáctico 😮gracias por compartir tus conocimientos y éxitos en todos vuestros proyectos y planes
Superentretenido, junto y sin tilde.
Súper. Entretenido.
Why is it the first thing I thought of is what’s going to happen with the dog! Lol
Basehart was in two good movies two years in a row this one in Nov.'48 and Nov.'49 Tension which his wife cheats on him and frames him for murder. He walked, has six characters that went on to tv shows. Admiral Nelson Voyage bottom sea, Sgt.Friday Dragnet, Gen.Heywood Time Tunnel, Mr.Drucker Green Acres, John Dehner Doris Day Show and Scott Brady 5x Rockford Files.
Great cop procedural chase film
Love the milkman scene and especially the sun machine gun rat a tat tat in sewer!
Très bon thriller, un régal
Very nice movie. Thanks
A very enjoyable film!
The title is misleading, though, as many of these oldies are... (no other complaints!😊)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mercipour le sous-titre j’aime les films noir des années 50 .l’acteur ´cest Richard Basehart Connu dans les Anne’s 60 . Très bon film intéressant De l’intrigue du suspens. .
☠️ Grim Reaper File ☠️
James Cardwell who plays Sgt. Chuck Jones, disheartened by his faltering career and financial difficulties, Cardwell fatally shot himself at the age of 32 in Los Angeles, California on January 31, 1954
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.
Guys don't miss this movie..has some great scenes.. especially the last 20 minutes
Hari Govind Varma ????
I am curious now ...
I wander if i saw this !
Wonder who got to keep his dog 🐶
The music convinced me!
12:32 Next he changed his name to Sam Drucker then went to hide out in Houtersville.
I KNEW THIS FILM FROM EARLY VIEWINGS ON TV. BUT IT STILL GRIPS YOU ALL THE WAY. FANTASTIC HOW ANTHONY MANN DIRECTS THE SCENES, OF SUSPENSE, OF ACTION, AND JUST PLAIN ORDINARY DAYS. BEAUTIFULLY CONSTRUCTED WITH GREAT ARTFULNESS IN ITS LIGHTING. AS FOR THE END SCENES . . . ANOTHER CLASSIC FILM RELEASED THE FOLLOWING YEAR MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY THIS GREAT NOIR. THANK YOU
YOU CAN TURN OFF YOUR CAPS now.
Boy,I tell you that a young jack webb,was as serios and determined to solve the crime with half expressions before he became famous and known for dragnet and then all thw shows he wrote and produced,well well!!!!!!!
GRACIAS por el subtitulado en castellano.
A real American movie classic L.A.
Un vrai chef d'oeuvre, pour moi en tous cas.
Good movie. When he took that bullet out of his side, I was squirming.
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.
This is a wonderful movie should be seen by everyone. I give this a thumbs up.
A bit corny at the beginning but the tension builds nicely and fabulous use of shadows. Thought the scenes of him working on his bullet wound showed great acting and filming.
Newsreel documentaries were hot back hence some of these post war noir opening like one.
At least I can say Tarantino didn't invented the "trunk shot"
A bunch of suburbs in search of a city. Perfect description of Los Angeles.
Interesting seeing old-school forensics and data bases at work.
Ray Liotta was so young!
Amazing film. Definitely up there with The Man From Laramie as one of Anthony Mann's best films.
oui
I thought I recognized Jack Webb. How appropriate that he’s in this movie.🍿 🍿😅
great movie. This one had Orson Welles quality lighting and cinematography, and a veritable 'who's who' of male actors of that era who were the staple of many many films.
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.
One of the best b/w films I´ve ever watched.
One of my favorite film noirs as a kid along with Kiss of Death (1947) and DOA (1950)
Such a great classic. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is a great movie and the transfer to digital looks good also. Be on the lookout for Jack Webb who was Joe Friday in Dragnet. He plays Lee the police evidence tech. Lee was also the name of the evidence tech in Dragnet. This show would go on radio in about year after this movie. Great offering CCC.
This is the movie that inspired webb to do Dragnet.
They actually used the word dragnet twice right after the cop was killed.
Between this movie and Dragnet, I bet Jack Webb had voice lessons. He's very demure here and later in Dragnet his voice is all upfront and forceful; lot's of projection.
Roy was just a good guy with a troubled soul. He was just about to turn his life around, when that nosy copper game along.
Worth a watch
11.20 ..."the dragnet gathered in some strange fish" , moon eye , carp, garpike , a rare huge sturgeon thought to be extinct, 3 shoes , couple bald tires, & a tire iron Mack
Joe Friday to the rescue. Good movie. Thx for uploading it.
Sound in this copy keeps cutting the first syllables. NG
This is a good movie
Why not have the War Department send you photos of every serviceman in Signals (Radar)? There couldn't be more than a couple hundred.
Sounds kind of feminine to me.
uno de los casos mas interesantes en criminologia calificacion 10
From Dragnet to Perry Mason,LA has LOVED CRIME!
Excellent film de la première prise de vue à la dernière. Passionnant. Extrêmement intéressant. Quelle belle époque pour des films de qualité.
" You say your name is Ralph Henderson? We think you're Sam Drucker. You were found with a Mrs. Douglas down at the General Store what you got to say about that?"
Hey I saw that exact same garage with motorcycles and police cars pulling out of it in another movie I watched a little earlier tonight.
So similar to TV's Dragnet.
This movie partly inspired one of its actors, Jack Webb, to start the “Dragnet” radio series, which later was adapted to a TV show.
@@mumblesbadly7708 makes sense
The ending is reminiscent of The Third Man although we have no sympathy for the villain.
And no dulcimer, I think that was the instrument used in the film score. I had a copy on a 78rpm record
Wonderful. Never heard of this title. But how little I know about movies! Thank you . I have simply enjoyed it.
First ever trunk shot at 09:28. Eat your heart out, Tarantino.
1948 was a great year for movies
1948 , the middle of the golden age of film noir.
Gracias por estos clásicos 👏👏👏
Jack Webb was taking notes
What a great movie. This got me riveted to my seat.
FANTASTIQUE CHIEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very good film. The murdered was bad and very intelligent. I liked film
Excellent movie loosely based on the crime spree of Erwin (machine gun )walker
Un très bon film merci pour le sous-titrage en français.
Thank's for translation in french.
BEAUTIFUL MAN ❤❤❤❤❤
I developed a hate for the killer. I guess that means "good movie".
I would have called thelis flick, The Los Angeles Sewer Bandit.
Holy cow! Jack Webb sounds like a human being , not a robot.
Jack Webb Richard basehart Roy Roberts Scott Brady this is a good movie
This one is a jewel!
good movie / better than most crime drama's / thanks cult classics
Merci pour les sous-titres :-)
The police really are stupid, they set a trap for the killer at around the 28 minute mark, the movie still has more than 3/4's of an hour to go, there is no way the killer is going to fall into a trap so early in the movie!
Muy buena película,
