365 Day Movie Challenge (2019) - #4: The Killer That Stalked New York (1950) - dir. Earl McEvoy

Evelyn Keyes stars in this modest but appealing noir-esque drama as a diamond smuggler who unknowingly carries smallpox with her into New York City, along with the stones that her husband (Charles Korvin) hopes to sell on the black market. William Bishop and Dorothy Malone play the Department of Health doctor and nurse who initially treat Keyes for what seems like a simple headache, but it eventually becomes apparent that Keyes’ illness is far more serious when a little girl she came into contact with (Beverly Washburn) is diagnosed with the infectious disease. The plot strains credulity at times - why did it take Bishop so long to remember that he had met Keyes? - but the film moves at a good pace and it benefits from the performances by Evelyn Keyes, Art Smith (a kindhearted jewel appraiser), Whit Bissell (Keyes’ brother), Connie Gilchrist (Keyes and Korvin’s nosy landlady) and Celia Lovsky (the young smallpox victim’s mother). The Killer That Stalked New York probably also suffers in comparison to a similar film also released in 1950, Elia Kazan’s Panic in the Streets, but I always enjoy a good showcase for character actors with real location footage of NYC.

NOIR CITY 19 continues today at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre with two double features, THE ACCUSED (1:00) & THE KILLER THAT STALKED NEW YORK (3:00) and NO WAY OUT (7:00) & THE SNIPER (9:30). Films introduced by FNF prez Eddie Muller. Full festival schedule and tickets available at NoirCity.com

Saturday Matinée • March 26

THE ACCUSED 1:00 PM

Demure college professor Wilma Tuttle (Loretta Young) finds herself in jeopardy after killing an overly amorous student in self-defense. As the noose tightens around her, both the victim's guardian (Robert Cummings) and a dogged homicide detective (Wendell Corey) pursue her. Apparently, being a suspected killer makes Wilma irresistible to men. June Truesdell's 1947 novel Be Still, My Love, adapted by Ketti Frings, puts a decidedly feminine slant on a classic noir premise. It's also the rare noir where both the source novel and the screenplay are the work of women. Frings had a résumé similar to many male colleagues in Hollywood—she'd worked as a newspaper correspondent, ad writer, and PR agent before scoring with her first novel, Hold Back the Dawn, adapted to film in 1941 by Billy Wilder. The Accused is a prescient psychological thriller that presaged "Me Too" by many decades.

1949, Paramount [Library of Congress]. 101 minutes. Screenplay by Ketti Frings, from the novel Be Still, My Love by June Truesdell. Produced by Hal Wallis. Directed by William Dieterle.

THE KILLER THAT STALKED NEW YORK 3:00 PM

Petty crook Matt Krane (Charles Korvin) returns to New York City from Cuba, using his girlfriend Sheila (Evelyn Keyes) as a mule to smuggle $40,000 worth of diamonds. What he doesn't realize is that Sheila is carrying something more dangerous — smallpox. What Sheila doesn't realize is that Matt plans on double-crossing her, running away with her sister Francie and the jewels. Sheila must elude the police to exact revenge on the two-timing louse, but with every step she threatens to unleash an epidemic that could infect 8,000,000 people. This fictionalized version of a true story was until recently an antiquated curio, a campy time capsule of an earlier era. Well, nobody's laughing now. Part suspenseful crime thriller, part Public Service Announcement, The Killer That Stalked New York, beautifully filmed by the great Joseph Biroc, recalls a bygone America, one where citizens trusted each other, the government, and miracles of modern science.

1950, Columbia Pictures [Sony Pictures Classics]. 79 minutes. Screenplay by Harry Essex, from a Cosmopolitan magazine article by Milton Lehman. Produced by Robert Cohn. Directed by Earl McEvoy.

Saturday Evening • March 26

NO WAY OUT 7:00 PM

Ray and Johnny Biddle, low-life criminals, are wounded trying to rob a gas station. Rushed to the county hospital, they are treated by an African American resident, Dr. Luther Brooks (Sidney Poitier, in his screen debut). Ray, a virulent racist (Richard Widmark, at his most incendiary), refuses to be treated by a black man, and accuses Dr. Brooks of murder when his brother dies. The incident touches off a firestorm that threatens to erupt into an all-out race war. In the middle is Johnny's ex-wife Edie (Linda Darnell), stuck between the ingrained racism of her "Beaver Canal" neighborhood and a growing awareness of a world beyond its confines. Widmark and Poitier give riveting performances, and Darnell quietly steals the show as a woman trying to escape her ignorant upbringing. The Oscar®-nominated screenplay pulls no punches in its squirm-inducing depiction of deep-rooted racism. Brace yourself for a powerful film that, sadly, is as relevant today as the day it was released.

1950, 20th Century–Fox. 106 minutes; Screenplay by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Lesser Samuels . Produced by Darryl F. Zanuck. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.

THE SNIPER 9:30 PM

San Francisco is the backdrop for one of the first movies about a modern serial killer. Decades before such stories became commonplace, husband and wife writers Edward and Edna Anhault researched dozens of actual cases to create this psychological "exposé " of a murderous misfit who wants to be caught but finds it too easy to slip into the margins of a "bustling" post-WWII metropolis. Arthur Franz gives an edgy and empathetic performance as the psychically scarred sniper, whose murderous trail leads viewers on a fascinating tour of midcentury San Francisco — from Pacific Heights through the back alleys of North Beach to once-industrial China Basin. Burnett Guffey's camerawork, moving between shadowy '40s noir and '50s docu-realism, enhances Edward Dmytryk's crisp and compelling direction.

1952, Columbia Pictures [Sony Pictures Classics]. 88 minutes. Screenplay by Harry Brown, from a story by Edward and Edna Anhalt. Produced by Stanley Kramer. Directed by Edward Dmytryk

Smallpox Goes to the Movies

Beginning with The Andromeda Strain in 1971, disease movies quickly established themselves as  a commonplace cinematic sub-genre, usually with sci-fi overtones. So in the years that followed we got the likes of Outbreak, Contagion, Virus, The Stand, 12 Monkeys, The Crazies,  28 Days Later, most post-Night of the Living Dead zombie movies,  The Omega Man, Winds of Terror, and  dozens of others.

It only made sense. Despite antibiotics and advances in medical research, new dread diseases continued to crop up on an annual basis, each one threatening (for awhile there anyway) to become a pandemic that could wipe out millions. In recent decades none of them had killed more than a few thousand, tops, but the threat and the fear were a constant presence. There was swine flu, various incarnations of bird flu, West Nile Virus, mad cow disease, Hantavirus, superbugs, ebola, whatever came out of the Rockefeller Institute next. Add to that the threat of bio-terror and the seemingly endless string of security breaches at bio-research institutes, it was only natural our media-fed paranoia would be reflected in popular big-budget movies with all-star casts. Now with Corona virus shaping up, finally, to be a contagious deadly disease worth the time of day, it seems as good a time as any to take a look back half a century, when another threatened pandemic spawned the whole Disease Movie sub-genre.

In March and April of 1947, long before our contemporary germophobic paranoia took hold, there was a smallpox outbreak in New York that killed two, infected ten others, and resulted in the largest mass smallpox vaccination in American history. It also led to a small but intriguing early outbreak of disease films.

At the end of February of ’47, a rug salesman from Maine and his wife  boarded a bus in Mexico City to return home after a vacation. Along the way, the salesman started feeling poorly, with a headache and neck pain. They got off the bus in New York and checked into a hotel. When the man firther developed a rash and fever, he was brought to Bellevue hospital, and was then transferred to an infectious disease facility a few days later. He died within a week, without ever having been properly diagnosed.

Shortly after his body was removed, two more people who’d been patients at the same hospital began exhibiting symptoms, but these two cases were finally confirmed to be smallpox. As still more cases began appearing both in the city and upstate, the New York Department of Health and the U.S. Public Health Service quickly made the connection and, understanding what they were up against, set about tracking down every last person the rug salesman had been in contact with. That meant everyone at the hotel, everyone on the bus, and everyone in both hospitals. It meant tracking down and vaccinating hundreds of people spread out over nearly 30 states.

Then, just to be on the safe side, in conjunction with the Mayor’s office  and the nation’s largest pharmaceutical companies, they launched a media vlitz encouraging every last man, woman, and child in New York to get vaccinated, setting up free clinics all over the city. By the end of April, nearly 6.5 million New Yorkers had taken the needle, and the epidemic was declared over.

The outbreak and the efforts to contain it were documented the following year in “The Killer That Stalked New York,”  an article by Milton Lehman which appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine.

Although the rights to the article were snatched up by Columbia and the story handed to screenwriter Harry Essex, it’s quite likely the events in 1947 were also the primary inspiration for Edna and Edward Anhalt over at 20th Century  Fox, who, quite by coincidence, sketched out a story eerily similar to the one Essex was working on. As a result (as has happened so many times in a Hollywood ever hoping to tap into the public zeitgeist—think of Strangelove and Fail-Safe, Volcano and Dante’s Peak, and all those killer bee movies from the ’70s), two different films at two different studios telling exactly the same story more or less, unwittingly went into production at exactly the same time. And, as per usual, with history as a judge, one of the films would be remembered, the other relegated to a mere footnote.

Over at Columbia, Essex’s script stuck fairly close to the original historical events, at least in terms of the Health Department’s reaction to the outbreak and the political scramblings between DOH, the Mayor’s office, and several reluctant pharmaceutical companies. Knowing he needed a little more pizzazz and sex appeal to make a compelling, exciting crowd-pleaser out of the material at hand, Patient Zero morphed from a middle-aged rug salesman into an attractive young blond smuggling diamonds in from Cuba. He also tossed in a seedy love triangle, a couple cute kids, some tenements and flophouses, a little gunplay,  and a few other standard noirish elements. The big, smart move on Essex part was turning  the good-hearted free clinic physician into a detective in a race against time. The opening narration does what it can to plant the film squarely in noir territory:

“Death didn’t sneak into town riding the rods or huddled in a boxcar, it came in on a streamliner, first class, extra fare, right into the Pennsylvania Station big as life. And when it finally stepped out of its drawing room onto the platform, it was something to whistle at. It wore lipstick, nylons, and a beautifully tailored coat sporting a silver dancing girl—souvenir of Cuba—and its name was Sheila Bennet. A pretty face with a frame to match worth following. And followed she was, by a big-faced man from the Treasury Department. A T-Man on the make. Not for what she was, but for what she’d done...”

As ham-fisted and silly as it is, what it is at heart is a desperate plea to audiences to see the film as something more than an 8th-grade health movie writ large, which is what it feels like at times.

Directed by Earl McEvoy, a longtime assistant director helming his second feature, The Killer That stalked New York stiffly and sometimes clumsily follows two distinct  storylines which eventually come together. In one, Sheila Bennet (Evelyn Keyes), who’d just smuggled some hot diamonds in from Cuba, tries to evade Treasury agents and reunite with her sleazy husband so the two of them can fence the ice and skip down to South America. Too bad for her her husband is plotting to ditch her for her younger sister.

In the other, good-hearted and earnest Dr. Ben Wood (William bishop) tries to track down whoever is spreading smallpox all over the city and, failing that, attempts to arrange to get everyone in New York inoculated before it’s too late. Although the audience is told from the start, it takes him awhile to figure out he, too, is looking for Sheila Bennet.

What’s interesting here is that as the disease begins to spread, McEvoy pulls the camera back, showing the city in panorama as the panic grows. The two primary storylines are both swallowed and at times forgotten by the fear that takes hold of the entire city. It becomes an educational film as the narrator describes the government’s response to a major health crisis in some painful detail. He only brings the camera back in close again toward the film’s end, when dr. Wood  closes in on Sheila. For all its lo-fi, low-budget clunkiness (and some mighty awful narration), there is a simple, earnest charm to McEvoy’s movie, which among other things helped educate the public about the dangers lurking in public water fountains.

Meanwhile over at Fox, Richard Murphy’s screenplay (based on the Anhalts’ story), while still focused on a US Public Health service doctor-turned-detective, pushed the noir elements to the forefront, and just to spice things up further changed the locale from New York to New Orleans and the disease in question from smallpox to plague.

Although there are whispers of smuggling in Panic in the Streets, nothing much comes of them. Instead the film opens with a couple thugs killing an immigrant fresh off a tramp steamer, suspecting him of playing sick to welch out of a card game. When the body is discovered, and further discovered to be carrying pneumonic plague, U.S. Public Health service doctor Clint Reed (Richard Widmark) is called in, and quickly, yes, turns detective. His first order of business is to figure out the man’s identity, given he was carrying no papers. Once he knows that, then he’ll need to track down everyone who came in contact with him (including his killer), given they all might well have the plague now, too.  So with the help of a reluctant police captain (Paul Douglas) he begins making the rounds of all the handy noir locales: the  docks, the tramp steamers, local Greek restaurants, bars and tenements. As the bodies start dropping, the search only becomes more frantic, with dr. Reed vaccinating (or trying to anyway) anyone who might’ve even possibly had any contact with the swarthy little fellow.

Despite all the similarities between Panic in the Streets and Killer That Stalked New York, there are also a number of vast differences. Here, Killer’s two distinct storylines are combined into one, with the cops and health department working in tandem. Director Elia Kazan never pulls the camera back to reveal the growing public panic, simply because there never is a growing public panic. Despite the ongoing pesterings of an antsy and frustrated newspaperman, Dr. Reed, for much of the film anyway, refuses to allow the story to come out, fearing it would nudge  the killer (a terrifying Jack Palance in his acting debut) to make a run for it, spreading the plague even further. Instead Kazan remains tightly focused on the investigation, almost following it in real time, leaving the film more murder mystery than public service announcement. In the end  the messages of both films are the same: Your government is on the case, so rest easy—you’ll be just fine.

At some point, word of the dual productions leaked and the brass at Columbia, perhaps realizing Panic had a bigger budget, a top director, a taut script and a couple recognizable stars, while they were sitting on a decidedly low-budget B quickie that tended toward the didactic, opted to hold Killer for six months. The hope was that would be enough time for Panic to come and go, and for moviegoers to forget all about what was clearly the much better film.

Well, things didn’t exactly go as planned. Panic in the Streets came out in June of 1950, and did not do terribly well at the box office, failing to earn back its budget. It did, however, go on to be considered a classic of the genre. Killer That Stalked New York was released in December of that same year, and was pretty well forgotten before it finished its run, much like everyone’s forgotten about the smallpox outbreak it attempted to document.

3 IN, 3 OUT – This is RuUs – Texans v. Seahawks

by fellow 12 Clinton Bonner

Flock, what can be said but Holy Catfish!!! We laughed (see Facebook GIF party for proof), we cried, we shouted at our TVs, and we came out with an incredible 41 – 38 victory at the CLink over a Texans team that can put the biscuit in the basket!

There is just so much to get to, so instead of some long opening soliloquy, enjoy the image above … because This is RuUs

You know the drill by now, when we WIN we start with an …

IN – The Love of #29

I grew up in Deer Park, NY (Long Island for many who likely don't know) … and across the street from my brother and I were this trio of big hearted brothers we had the privilege of calling best friends throughout the 80s, 90s, and into our adult lives. If the Sandlot were real life, and all sports not just sweet, sweet baseball, these guys were stars in our movie.

Recently, the eldest of the brothers passed. He played and did all things with a bigness, and a smoothness, and an everlasting smile. He knew what you were going to do before you knew. He was the best kid on the court, or the field, or the rink and if he was on your team, you usually won, and you certainly were always better because of him. His name was John and he was #29.

I mentioned some crying earlier right? When our #29 read the rook Watson like a fine piece of literature and took it back 78-yards to counter-punch against the early Texans haymaker… I stood up, raised a fist to the air and long after Walsh knotted the effort at 7, finally fell back to the couch, smiling, crying, remembering this Deer Park kid who always made it look easy, even though we all knew we could never do what he just did.

Our love and our prayers to the entire Gorman family. #GlendaLove

Enjoy #29 doing his best impersonation of Deer Park's #29

  OUT – Try Getting Me Wright

KJ Wright is kinda a silent hero on this team. With the much bigger on-air personalities of Big Perm, Big Sherm, the aforementioned Earl, and the overshadowing in the box scores that B-Wagz would do to any teammate, KJ just does his thing and that thing is usually really, really good.

On Sunday, us Flockers saw wayyyyyyy too much of #50 trying to chase their #10 around the yard.

A few things to clarify here.

I don't pin this on KJ. Clearly this Texans offense does some interesting things to say the least, and 50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong, right? The City, States can and do put up points and they certainly create mis-matches throughout any given Sunday.

What I'm wondering is if this Texans team, who had the bye week coming into this game, schemed up some brand new plays to earn these mis-matches OR if these were plays that were already on film, and they still burnt Richard time and time again? Anybody know???

We certainly saw less of KJ covering Hopkins in the 2nd half, thankfully, and you might be saying; “So what? Hopkins still killed us!?” … and while stats don't lie, we did get this HUGE INT to Hopkins' side of the field at a crucial, crucial moment of the match!

  INTERCEPTION SEAHAWKS!! Sherman es el ladrón ahora! Si despierta la defensa de Seattle van a ganar hoy. http://pic.twitter.com/OD6VVWfe4M

— Refrigerador NFL (@RefrigeradorNFL) October 29, 2017

And FTR… Wright led the team in tackles, with 14 !!!

  IN – All Day Disruption, Starring Michael Bennett

There are MANY worthy INs. Sheesh looking down my list we're not even going to cover P-Rich or that amazing Coach Carroll fumble-forward challenge that kept a crucial early drive alive!!! We won't spotlight Frank the Tank going off and we won't even focus on Russ!

That's how good #72 was in this game.

Bennett wasn't everywhere, he was exactly where he needed to be, seemingly always. On multiple occasions throughout the sunny PNW afternoon, Bennett was 1 to 3 yards deep into the Texans backfield, blowing up a would be Lamar Miller effort. He tallied 2 huge sacks (1.5 in the record books) and he cause havoc on the line all day.

Michael Bennett also saved this game for us. Awash in the headline stats was the most crucial tackle of the game.

2nd Down and 9, 1:56 left to go on the clock.

A hole opens up along the right side of the Texans line and Lamar Miller bursts through for what looks like will be a game clinching rumble.

Suddenly, Miller stumbles, and falls forward for a gain of 5, setting up 3rd and 4.

If you re-watched the game or caught it live, Bennett gets a paw on Miller's foot and literally, saves the day.

Yup, Bennett, in his 9th year, now has 5.5 sacks on the season. But on a day drenching with dynamite plays, this tackle gave our ‘Hawks the chance we needed!

  OUT – Tre Madden

I don't get it… If you need to understand how I feel, see Tom Hanks' “Josh” in BIG.

We're never trying to rip a guy personally, but I just don't get Tre Madden's value to this team.

He's sparsely used and when he's in he doesn't block well at all. As mentioned on the FB Sea Hawkers Pod Ring of Honor during the game… Not a great look for a FB!!! Multiple times during the game he either got blown up in the backfield OR failed to sustain or even chip a guy out wide on certain stretch plays.

I know, I know… Madden had a BIG catch and run netting us a Lemieux (in yards) setting up the game tying field goal in the 3rd quarter. Tip the cap to Bevell for using a player no one was thinking of, at the exact right moment and hey, Tre executed it … can't take that away from him.

But as far as Madden's value to this team… I just don't get it.

Flocktimus shared similar sentiment on Twitter and got a prettttty interesting reaction from a certain somebody:

  IN – Return of the McEvoy

Ever since training camp came to a pretty dramatic conclusion with the cutting of “Karen” Willams, most Seahawks fans have been questioning the decision to keep McEvoy on this team. Through 7 games, McEvoy didn't do all that many things to help his argument, dropping some easy passes and throwing a pick on a trick-play.

Sunday, he had a big impact. He set up the game tying TD in the 2nd quarter with this beautiful haul on a Sexy Deep Ball by DangeRuss:

  This beautiful deep ball from Russell Wilson to Tanner McEvoy. #HOUvsSEA #Seahawks http://pic.twitter.com/WBmTME7HAf

— (@3lone) October 29, 2017

  On the ensuing KO, McEvoy put a hat on the ball, jarring it loose, nearly resulting in a turnover deep in Texan territory!

Techno Thursday. #ItsAMovementhttp://pic.twitter.com/SlFLplBE0L

— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) October 27, 2017

It's role players like McEvoy that help you win championships… welcome back Mac!

OUT – Kickoff with Their Heads

This OUT is less about a singular game or crucial play… but it's an OUT nonetheless.

I do not thing Tyler Lockett should return KOs for us any longer.

He should still be our PR, he's really, really smart and most often makes the most out of every attempt he gets back there.

On KOs… there's just a little something missing from Tyler's approach that was there previous to his terrible leg injury. He's almost too patient and during KOs, where you don't get too many opportunities a game to make an impact, you don't need patience, you need one-cut decisions and explosiveness.

Let's not forget Tyler led the team in receptions (tied for 6) and yards (121) on Sunday, so let's not confuse the issue here.

On KOs… this 12 believes we should try our hand with JD McKissic and measure the delta.

  Don't Worry, Be Happy

Am I the only 12 not all that concerned that we gave up 38 points at home? Not to say we'd always make this ‘trade' but we had 5 sacks, 3 INTs and a pick 6 in this game. If we exchange TDs for FGs in the 3rd quarter, we win this game going away and even with that, our red zone O looked MUUUUUUUCH better.

We're 5 – 2, we're home against a very banged-up Redskins team, and we just acquired a Pro-Bowl level Tackle… so, don't worry, be happy now!

From the Flock

My favorite part of every Seahawks week is sharing this with all the Sea Hawkers Pod 12s who make this awesome. So, who got in the mix this week… a LOT of ya, so apologies in advance if I missed your #3i3o this week and enjoy the commentary below!!!

  Ross was none too pleased with Germain's early efforts… most likely sparked from false starts and another bonehead personal foul!
