THE
KILLER IS LOOSE
In this Budd Boetticher directed mid period
film noir, “Foggy” (Wendell
Corey) is a bank teller who got his nickname
in the Army for the thick spectacles he
wears. Foggy is also an inside man for a
gang of thieves planning to rob his bank.
Unfortunately, their plan goes awry and
he is arrested. During the ensuing scuffle,
his wife is accidentally killed and the
crook blames the arresting officer (Joseph
Cotten). While he stands trial, Foggy lets
on that he plans on getting revenge by killing
the officer’s wife. Later he is transferred
to a prison farm. The fearsome former clerk
busts out of prison and kills a few people
on his way to the policeman’s home.
The panicked policeman attempts to secure
protection for his wife, but the cops decide
to use the woman as a decoy to draw the
criminal to them.
