This week’s mystery movie has been the 1949 RKO thriller “Follow Me Quietly,” with William Lundigan (Friday’s mystery gent), Dorothy Patrick (Thursday’s mystery guest), Jeff Corey (Wednesday’s mystery guest), Edwin Max (Friday’s mystery guest) and Douglas Spencer (Tuesday’s mystery guest). It was written by Lillie Hayward from a story by Francis Rosenwald and Anthony Mann, photographed by Robert de Grasse, with music by Leonid Raab and directed by Richard O. Fleischer.
It was released by Warner Archive in 2011.
Update: This is Maurice Cass and if you pay attention, you can see the lights reflecting off his bald head.
Our enigmatic chap is wearing a bow tie in this mystery movie, which comes from the request line. (Yes, we do take requests, but sometimes there’s a delay in locating a copy. The Brain Trust has arcane tastes.)
Update: Douglas Spencer. Notice the “criminal” lighting from below.
And for Tuesday, we have this mystery gent.
Please congratulate Tim Doherty, Stanhope1929 and Howard Mandelbaum for identifying Monday’s mystery guest.
Update: This is Jeff Corey.
And for Wednesday, we have a somewhat mysterious gent.
Please congratulate Julie Merholz (Tuesday’s mystery guest), Jenny M (Tuesday’s mystery guest), dlhartzog (mystery movie and Tuesday’s mystery guest), Mike Hawks (Tuesday’s mystery guest), Don Danard (mystery movie and mystery guests) and Lee Ann, Megan and Thom (Monday’s mystery guest).
Update: This is the gimmick in the film.
You probably always wondered what Back of the Head Guy looksd like. Well here he is.
Update: This is Dorothy Patrick.
OK. Here’s a mystery lady for Thursday – and look – is that a newsboy cap?
Please congratulate Howard Mandelbaum (mystery movie and guests), Julie Merholz (mystery movie and mystery guests), Patrick (mystery movie and mystery guests), dlhartzog (mystery guests), Benito (Wednesday’s mystery guest), Jenny M (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guest), Don Danard (Wednesday’s mystery guest), Johnny Clay (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guest), Michael Ryerson (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guest), Rick Scott (Monday’s and Wednesday’s mystery guests), LC (mystery movie and mystery guests), Megan Lee Ann and Thom (Tuesday’s mystery guest), Dewey Webb (Wednesday’s mystery guest) and Stanhope1929 (Wednesday’s mystery gent).
Update: This is Edwin Max.
And for Friday, we have this unfortunate mystery gent, who does not know how to wear a hat.
What? You were expecting maybe …
Update: And William Lundigan.
… our mystery leading man, who’s pretty good in this little picture.
Please congratulate Don Danard (Thursday’s mystery woman), Megan Lee Ann and Thom (mystery movie and Wednesday’s and Thursday’s mystery guests), Rick (mystery movie and Thursday’s mystery guest) and Michael Ryerson (Thursday’s mystery woman).

As for ‘faceless man’ the easy guess would be William Lundigan. Although I wish it were Archie Twitchell because I love his name so much and the line ‘ As long as the lady is paying for it, why not take the Vicuna?’.

For Friday we have Edwin Max, too disoriented to adjust his hat. And, oh yeah, that William Lundigan guy. With Maurice Cass on Monday and Douglas Spencer on Tuesday, they round out Follow Me Quietly (1949).
