When the Killer Is a Real Dummy
"Follow Me Quietly" is an atmospheric noir about a police detective on the hunt for a serial strangler.
The film's most memorable plot device is a dummy that the police department has made based on the limited information they've been able to capture about the killer. They know roughly his height, weight, hair color, the color of his suit, etc., and they construct a mannequin that approximates his appearance. They then wrangle up crooks and bring them into police lineups with the dummy to see if any of them look alike. It's actually pretty humorous and doesn't seem like the makings of crack detective work, but it does allow for some rather creepy scenes, and one in particular, when the police detective has an entire conversation with what he thinks is the mannequin, and which the audience finds out is the actual killer after the detective has left the room.
If you're a fan of rain-soaked streets and movies whose titles have nothing to do with what they're actually about, you'll like this one.
Grade: B+
