![]() ![]() He Walked by Night (1948) Low budget B&W semi-documentary style crime thriller, which is loosely based on the real-life crimes committed by Erwin Walker in 1946. Featuring an early appearance by Jack Webb before he went on to create the 'Dragnet' radio show and TV series which is also loosely based on real-life crimes. The story was fairly close to the actual events but after looking up Erwin Walker in Wikipedia, the full story of his criminal activities would've made for a far more interesting script. I guess there's only so much that can be crammed into a movie with a running time of 80 minutes, though. |

![]() ![]() Woman on the Run (1950) B&W noir crime thriller about a man who sees a murder committed against a witness in an upcoming trial and decides to go into hiding after the police want him to identify the killer in court. The police keep a close eye on his wife, hoping she will lead them to him before the killer can find him. Not sure why the title is 'Woman on the Run' because it's about a man on the run while his wife desperately tries to contact him. |

![]() ![]() Mothra (1961) A classic Japanese monster movie from the 60's. The last time I watched this I was probably around 10 to 12 years old and it was even weirder and more wonderful than I remembered. As usual, radiation from atomic bomb detonations is a feature of the story. Add to that a tribe of primitive island people, a pair of miniature fairy twins, an unscrupulous entrepreneur, a linguist, a photographer, a newspaper reporter, a kid or two, a giant caterpillar, and the Japanese military, and you have all the ingredients necessary for a bang-up Japanese monster movie. |

![]() I one I saw had a lot of the same elements., including the miniature fairy twins. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the same footage was used. In the one I saw, Godzilla was the bad monster while Mothra was the good monster. I would describe their battle, which has an interesting outcome, but I don't want to spoil an amazing cinematic experience for you or others who want to watch it ![]() |
