This is the film that, above all, increased by 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 works included the film noir gems Armored Car Robbery and The Narrow Margin. 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. Slip into the shadows. Embrace the night. Follow into classic noir.

Description

Future Oscar -winning producer Walter Mirisch (In the Heat of the Night) broke into the film business at poverty-row studio Monogram Pictures, with his first film "FALL GUY" in 1947, based on a short story by Cornell Woolrich. The next year Mirisch brought another production derived from a Woolrich work to the studio, with this 1948 Film-noir with a modest budget, a little-known cast, and directed by screen veteran William Nigh. The result was "I WOULDN'T BE IN YOUR SHOES", a captivating tale about a down-on-his luck dancer set-up to be wrongly accused of murder (Don Castle), and the efforts of his devoted wife (Elyse Knox) to prove his innocence against all odds. Virtually unseen for decades, and now restored from original nitrate elements, this little gem of a film will impress new audiences and once seen, not soon be forgotten.
