He Walked By Night was filmed in 1948 and was based on a real life criminal Erwin Walker. Richard Basehart plays Roy Martin a brilliant thief and sociopath who eludes the police by listening to their radio communications. He alters his modus operandi with each successive crime, leading the police to believe that multiple criminals are at work. When he murders a police officer it's the beginning of the end for Roy Martin.The film, shot in semidocumentary tone, was loosely based on newspaper accounts of the real-life actions of Erwin "Machine-Gun" Walker, a former Glendale, California police department employee and World War II veteran who unleashed a crime spree of burglaries, robberies, and shootouts in the Los Angeles area during 1945 and 1946.
