Though they generally weren't required to do much, the cast members in "Follow Me Quietly" were great at what they did.
Bill Lundigan was a good-looking guy who could have got by just on his looks. In this movie, he got to take off his shirt, or perhaps had to take off his shirt, and it gave an obvious thrill to Dorothy Patrick, who was really attractive and handled her role quite well, too.
The great, and terribly under-appreciated, Jeff Corey had the number two male part – and as to "under-appreciated," well, yes, he had a long and busy career. He was the bad guy who started the action in "True Grit" and he played Abe Lincoln at least twice.
Still, a man with this much talent just could never have been thoroughly and properly appreciated, at least not enough to suit me.
There was a montage sequence that might be a staple of B films, but this one was done as well as any A picture could have done it.
It is interesting to watch the differences in police procedures, from this 1949 film to the latest films and TV shows.
A lot happens in this 60-minute run time, even the killing of a newspaper editor, the only murder in a string of seven that might earn any audience sympathy.
"Follow Me Quietly" is a good one to watch.
