Hunt the Man Down

Hunt the Man Down is a 1950 American crime film directed by George Archainbaud and starring Gig Young.

When loner Bill Jackson prevents a robbery at the bar where he works, the ensuing media attention reveals that he is actually Richard Kinkaid, a fugitive wanted in connection with a 12-year-old murder case. Public defender Paul Bennett believes that Kinkaid is innocent but lacks fresh evidence to solidify his case. With an innocent man's freedom in the balance, Bennett must find and interview the crime's original seven witnesses.

In a contemporary review, critic Edwin Schallert of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "[I]ts interest and suspense are dramatically sustained. A less trite ending would have made it a better production. The quest for witnesses for a crime 12 years old has many novel facets, and holds the attention, because it is well carried out."
