FOLLOW
ME QUIETLY
1949.....59 minutes
William Lundigan, Dorothy Patrick, Jeff
Corey
One
of the best ever was 1949's strange, obsessive film noir Follow
Me Quietly, which manages to pack more excitement and sheer
entertainment value in 59 minutes than most big-budgeters can
accomplish in twice that time. Detective Harry Grant (William
Lundigan) is assigned to track down "The Judge," an
unknown serial killer. With only a handful of sketchy clues,
Grant constructs a faceless dummy to help his men conduct their
investigation. The film's "money scene" finds the
murderer quietly taking the dummy's place, right under the noses
of the entire police force!
