mean streets in the 40's.
On at the cinema is He Walked by Night (1948)and its a great film of the times, it is a black-and-white police procedural film noir, crediting Alfred L. Werker as director. The film, shot in semidocumentary tone, was allegedly based on the real-life actions of Erwin "Machine-Gun" Walker.He Walked By Night
During production, one of the actors, Jack Webb, struck up a friendship with the police technical advisor, Detective Sergeant Marty Wynn, and was inspired by a conversation with Wynn to create the radio and later television program Dragnet.
He Walked by Night was released by Eagle-Lion Films and is notable for the camera work by renowned noir cinematographer John Alton.
On a Los Angeles street, Officer Hollis, a patrolman on his way home from work, stops a man he suspects of being a burglar and is shot and mortally wounded. The minor clues lead nowhere. Two police detectives, Sergeants Marty Brennan (Brady) and Chuck Jones (Cardwell), are assigned to catch the killer, Roy Morgan (Basehart), a brilliant mystery man with no known criminal past, who is hiding in a Hollywood bungalow and listening to police calls on his custom radio in an attempt to avoid capture. His only relationship is with his little dog.
Roy consigns burgled electronic equipment to Paul Reeves (Whit Bissell), and on his fifth sale is nearly caught when he shows up to collect on his property. Reeves tells police that the suspect is a mystery man named Roy Martin. The case crosses the paths of Brennan and Jones, who stake out Reeves' office to arrest and question Roy. He suspects a trap, however, and in a brief shootout shoots and paralyzes Jones. Jones wounds Roy, who performs surgery on himself to remove the bullet and avoid going to a hospital, where his gunshot wound would be reported to the police.
With his knowledge of police procedures, Roy changes his MO and becomes an armed robber. During one robbery he fires his automatic pistol, and the police recover the ejected casing. Lee (Jack Webb), a forensics specialist, matches the ejector marks on the casing to those recovered in the killing of Officer Rawlins and the wounding of Sgt. Jones, connecting all three shootings to one suspect.
Captain Breen (Roy Roberts) uses this break to gather all of the witnesses to the robberies. They assist Lee in building a composite photo of the killer. Reeves then identifies Roy from the composite. However, Roy hides in Reeves' car and attempts to intimidate him into revealing details of the police investigation. He barely eludes a stakeout of Reeves' house.
Because the police do not realize that Roy has inside knowledge of their work, the case goes nowhere. Breen takes Brennan off the case in an attempt to shake him up. Jones convinces his partner to stop viewing the case personally and to use his head.
Plodding, methodical follow-up by Brennan, using the composite photograph, results in information that Roy, whose actual name is Roy Morgan, worked for a local police department as a civilian radio dispatcher before being drafted into the Army. Brennan tracks him down through post office mail carriers and disguises himself as a milkman to get a close look at Morgan and his apartment.
The police surround and raid the apartment that night, but Morgan, forewarned by the barking of his dog, escapes through the attic and uses the Los Angeles sewer system as a means of escape. The film continues with a dragnet and chase through the sewers. Roy is finally cornered by the police in a passage blocked by the wheel of a police car. As the police shoot tear gas at Roy, he staggers and attempts to fire at them. He is then shot down and killed. The final scene is notable for its resemblance to the final sceen in The Third Man in which Orson Welles is chased through the sewers of Vienna. No known connection between the films has been established..

The staff at Variety magazine gave the film a positive review and wrote, "He Walked by Night is a high-tension crime meller, supercharged with violence but sprung with finesse. Top credits for this film's wallop is shared equally by the several scripters, director Alfred Werker and a small, but superb cast headed by Richard Basehart...Starting in high gear, the film increases in momentum until the cumulative tension explodes in a powerful crime-doesn't pay climax. Striking effects are achieved through counterpoint of the slayer's ingenuity in eluding the cops and the police efficiency in bringing him to book. High-spot of the film is the final sequence which takes place in LA's storm drainage tunnel system where the killer tries to make his getaway. With this role, Baseheart was seen as one of the new talents of hollywood

planning for spring and summer

 
iits the time to start thinking about your spring and summer look , always think ahead and then you can get things right. Something good for spring would be a nice dog tooth jacket worn with slightly off white trousers in a heavier cotton material, lets take a look.the barracuta dog tooth its a great jacket for pubbing and going to football and being one of the fans but its always paired with jeans and this type of grey goes with basically one of two colurs either white or cream/off whiteA proper jacket in dogtooth well always wear a white hankie with  it, it  looks great and really brings out the jacket. theres not much good dogtooth out there but the gant ain't bad but as three butoned jackets are as dead as the North bank then i wouldn't lash out 400 quid on one. this one on the right is saville row and is an abject lesson in not trying to look like a ponce from Athens. The shirt looks terrible with what is a nice tie.the styling on the jacket is much too trad as well and says littlebelow is an original jacket from la confidential, that worn by kevin spacey and this is a nice cut and I like the trousers too.you could get a grey dogtooth done in this style plus the trousers in off white flannel

but don't go down the road of the skinny jacket crap, its dead and looks shit but those shoes look good and agood alternative to running shoes like the proverbial nikes which are shit basically ,them and all the other running shoes that people wear until they fucking fall off their feet .the shoes below would go well with the look of the dogtooth jacket and off white trousers or white linen or cotton in summer



this watch is a sekonda and i don't give a shit much about watches but this watch caught my attention, the first thing i thought of was macqueen in bullitt , theres something about the ford mustang and late sixties in this watch,its the bizz.below are some polos on offer at the moment that are again must gets for summer, the red one would look great under the dog tooth in grey








this banksy t.shirt spells the end for the pro revolutionary as hes gone commercial it seems but its fun

great lacoste here that i really like, i dont normally like lacostes but i really like the big badge on this.
 fashion was once older geezers but have a peeper at these suit styles , brilliant and that waistcoat is great









the one and only fred in a great chalkstripe and its single breasted




i always fancied a bowler but didn't ever have trhe balls to wear one, i like the victorians a lot and the way they wore bowlers , check out the jude law sherlock holmes film.
i'm in two thjoughts on baseball jackets but i quite like this to be honest





this is arsenal country, its full of psys and full of crap pubs but never mind
 who fancies a game of soldiers




this is an off the peg d.b which would look immensely better with one of these two ties, i like d.b 'as but you need to be slim to wear one really.




G9 Vintage Fit 'Sumner' Dogtooth Jacketthis is a nice dogtooth barracuta, a classic that any age can wear.
