"He Walked by Night" is one of those police procedural like noirs. In that way, it has similarities to noirs like "The Naked City" and "The Lineup". Richard Basehart was good as a villain. Other movies I like him in are "Tension" and "The Good Die Young". The Good Die Young is very underrated. - @Monday, September 24, 2018 11:39 PM

Thanks for sharing this! I used it on my own website www.HaremCInema.com and gave you credit. Hopefully it will bring you some new fans. If you are interested in doing some cross-promotion, let me know, I'm sure we could work something out for both of us. - @Thursday, January 4, 2018 8:02 PM
