Starring Adolphe Menjou, Arthur Franz, Gerald Mohr
Blacklisted director Edward Dmytryk—one of the original Hollywood Ten—made his return to filmmaking with this disturbingly prescient psychological thriller. Shot with gritty, documentary-style realism on the streets of San Francisco, THE SNIPER follows a tormented young man (Arthur Franz) who unleashes his rage in a shooting spree targeting unsuspecting women. Realizing that he is dealing with a profoundly disturbed individual, Lieutenant Frank Kafka (Adolphe Menjou) sets out to understand the suspect’s mind, learning to think like a killer in order to stop one.
