Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe voice in The Judge's apartment building yelling downstairs is Marjorie Main.
- GoofsBecause of the abundance and age of the stock footage employed, the age of the automobiles is more often pre-WWII rather than post-WWII, and frequently changes from one scene to the next. Detective Grant drives a 1939 Buick, unusual in itself because it was already ten years old at the time, but a 1942 Chrysler shows up in its place in some of the stock footage. Likewise, the taxicabs continually range from pre-WWII to post-WWII models.
- Quotes
Police Lt. Harry Grant: Funny thing how he always strikes in the rain.
Police Sgt. Art Collins: Maybe he likes rain. Must be a fish.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Armored Car Robbery (1950)

Worth Seeing
Follow Me Quietly (1949)
*** (out of 4)
Exciting film noir from RKO has a detective (William Lundigan) trying to track down a mysterious killer known as "The Judge". I haven't heard too many film noir lovers mention this film but I found it to be very tense and brilliantly directed. The film only runs 59-minutes but there's a lot of style throughout each one of them. The ending is full of action and some nice suspense. The film runs at a very fast pace and is over before you know it but for the life of me I can't figure out why this film isn't talked about more. Certainly worth checking out if you can catch it on TCM.
