Midnight Movie: The Prowler

on BBC Two England

Starring Van Heflin, Evelyn Keyes
with John Maxwell

A corrupt, ambitious policeman begins an affair with a lonely housewife who reports a prowler at her home. When he learns that she stands to inherit a substantial sum in the event of her husband's death, he begins to plan the perfect murder...
Van Heflin gives a fine performance as the crooked cop in this suspenseful melodrama, an early work of distinguished director Joseph Losey.
