When Detective Grant is in the office trying to solve the serial killings; he begins talking to the "Judge" dummy that is sitting on a chair with its back turned to him. After Collins interrupts him and they both leave the office; the dummy comes to life. It turns out that the real killer hid the dummy and took its place sitting on the chair. The puzzling thing is that the film does not explain how the killer manages to enter the Police precinct and the Detective's office without being detected. In addition, why would the killer want to go there and how did the killer in the first place even know the existence of a lookalike dummy. Finally, Detective Grant has been practically living with this dummy so it makes no sense that he couldn't tell even from the back that it was a real human being there. All these factors briefly interrupted the flow of the story.

Zitate
Lt. Harry Grant: Funny thing how he always strikes in the rain.
Sgt. Art Collins: Maybe he likes rain. Must be a fish.

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.
