United Artists
Directed by Budd Boetticher
Boetticher foreshadows the entire stalker genre with this excellent, tense drama. Character actor Wendell Corey is Foggy Poole, a mild mannered bank teller who also happens to be a homicidal maniac. He plays the killer to perfection: cold, soft spoken, intelligent, seemingly indestructible. A citywide manhunt eventually leads to a memorable finale. I was reminded of Carpenter's Halloween, especially given the suburban LA setting.
