The Killer is Loose 03/11/25

Late-cycle noir introduces us to Leon ‘Foggy’ Poole, a new kind of polite psychotic menace who kills because, ‘sigh,’ people just don’t give him a choice. Wendell Corey is a fugitive seeking revenge against cop Joseph Cotten … and determined to take ‘a wife for a wife’ justice. Rhonda Fleming and Michael Pate co-star in this very modern chain-of-violence tale; director Budd Boetticher and ace cameraman Lucien Ballard turn a modest production into an efficient and frequently stylish crime thriller. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
