Walk the Dark Street (MOD) (DVD Movie)

Dan Lawton returns home from the Korean War and visits Frank Garrick, the surviving brother of a soldier in his unit who had been killed in combat. With a large cash stake, Frank lures Dan into a bizarre game, in which the two men hunt for each other in the city, their rifles armed with "camera" bullets. Dan has no idea that Frank blames him for his brother's death, has loaded live ammo into his weapon, and intends to murder the unsuspecting ex-GI.

Chuck Connors played professional basketball and baseball before turning to acting and legendary fame as TV's Rifleman. In this forgotten film-noir he gives a rare performance as the demented psychopath. Clearly influenced by The Most Dangerous Game, director Wyott Ordung wrote the screenplay for Walk the Dark Street, but is probably best remembered as the writer of the B Sci-fi classic, Robot Monster (1953). He directed one other film, Monster From The Ocean Floor (1954), in which he also appeared.
