Starring Richard Basehart (Time Limit), Scott Brady (Undertow) and Jack Webb (Appointment with Danger), this film noir classic was the inspiration not only for TV’s Dragnet (also with Webb) but for many other subsequent “ripped-from-the-headlines” crime dramas. Taken from actual case files, He Walked by Night is the suspenseful, action-packed tale of a manhunt for the most cunning criminal in the history of the LAPD. With a combination of ingenuity, state-of-the-art technology, sweat and sheer determination, the police painstakingly track down a brilliant, elusive thief and cop-killer (chillingly played by Basehart in only his third film) who seems to have the ability to vanish into thin air. But can they catch him before he murders again? This gritty, groundbreaking police procedural features direction by Alfred L. Werker (Shock) and an uncredited Anthony Mann (T-Men) with stunning cinematography by John Alton (Raw Deal). Special Features: • Brand New HD Master – From a 16bit 4K Scan of the 35mm Fine Grain • NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Imogen Sara Smith • Audio Commentary by Author/Film Historian Alan K. Rode and Writer/Film Historian Julie Kirgo • Optional English Subtitles

A brilliant scientist, a pioneering woman in a field closed to her gender, a woman who shares a passion for discovery with her husband--a passion that will cause the death of the love of her life--Academy Award winner Greer Garson stars as Madame Curie. Behind the discovery of radioactivity lies the story of Marie (Garson--Mrs. Miniver, Sunrise at Campobello) and Pierre Curie (Walter Pidgeon--Mrs. Miniver, Executive Suite)--a moving, human story of two people who love each other as much as their great work. Their meeting as scientist and student, their hesitant courtship and ultimate marriage joins the two in both heart and mind as they work together on what seems a hopeless task. Success comes at last, but there is little time to savor their triumph--for although their work has opened a new field of science to the world, it has cost Pierre his life.
