OVERLOOKED FILM: HE WALKED BY NIGHT

Richard Basehart is on the run.

Supposedly this movie inspired Jack Webb to consider a police drama aimed for television -- something called Dragnet.

Enjoy.

  1. DRAGNET scooped 'em up on radio for a coupla years before the tv debut. GUNSMOKE and DRAGNET and even I LOVE LUCY (as MY FAVORITE WIFE) did solid numbers on radio first...and the first two ran concurrently in both media, though of them only DRAGNET chose to run some tv episoe soundtrack material as the radio show at least once...
