Follow Me Quietly (DVD)

'This is the film that, above all, increased my knowledge of the trade. I learned how to organize a film,' director Richard Fleischer said about Follow Me Quietly. The filmmaker learned well: his subsequent career included the film noir gem the Narrow Margin, the family favorite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the sci-fi milestone Soylent Green. William Lundigan stars in Follow Me Quietly as a cop on the trail of an elusive serial killer who strikes when darkness and rain fall. Anthony Mann shares a credit for the story, a tale similar to his work (uncredited) on the previous year's He Walked by Night. Slip into the shadows (cinematography by the Body Snatcher's Robert de Grasse creates a sinister mood). Embrace the night. Follow into classic noir.
