"He Walked By Night" is a tough, terse police procedural...
...with a soon-to-be-familiar opening.
We witness a shocking crime.
We meet the realistic, no-nonsense police detectives.
Their investigation is methodical and by the book.
Eventually their "dragnet" closes around the wily suspect.
In the film, a young Jack Webb plays one of the "lab boys."
It would inspire him in creating the radio and TV classic "Dragnet"...
...in which he starred as realistic, no-nonsense Detective Joe Friday.
