This week’s mystery movie was the 1951 film “He Ran All the Way,” directed by John Berry, with John Garfield, Shelley Winters, Wallace Ford, Selena Royle, Gladys George, Norman Lloyd and Bobby Hyatt. The screenplay was credited to Hugo Butler and Guy Endore (actually Dalton Trumbo) based on the novel by Sam Ross. The photography was by James Wong Howe with music by Franz Waxman.
It is available from Kino films on DVD and Blu-Ray. It will be shown during the TCM Classic Film Festival on April 29 at noon at the Egyptian Theatre, with Dennis Berry, the son of director John Berry, and Hollywood Reporter film critic Todd McCarthy.
“He Ran All the Way” opened in Los Angeles on June 21, 1951 in a double bill with “Her First Romance,” starring Margaret O’Brien, which Los Angeles Times critic Edwin Schallert found “a very amusing comedy with the young girl star, one of her first efforts to graduate from child roles.” Schallert called “He Ran All the Way” “one of the deadliest and most relentless crime melodramas ever fashioned.” Bosley Crowther of the New York Times said (June 21, 1951): “There is shock and grim excitement in this studiously horrifying film, but it soon assumes the look of sheer theatrics when it lays its assumptions on the line.”
As Mike Hawks pointed out, this was Garfield’s last film and he died less than a year later.

For Monday, we have this shadowy image of a mystery gent in a double-breasted suit. He has a blurry companion.
Update: This is A. Cameron Grant.
Google Image Search will be of no help to you.
For Tuesday, we have a mystery police officer.
Update: This is Dale Van Sickel.
Google Image Search will be of no help to you.
For Wednesday, we have a mystery couple. Here’s the mister….
Brain Trust roll call: Don Danard (Tuesday’s mystery police officer) and Maricatrin (Tuesday’s mystery police officer).
…And here’s the missus.
Update: This is Wallace Ford and Selena Royle.
As usual, Google Image Search will be totally unhelpful.
And for Thursday, we have a mystery woman in a mysterious swimming pool.
Update: This is Shelley Winters.
Brain Trust roll call: Mary Mallory (mystery movie and Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Don Danard (Wednesday’s mystery gent), Jenny M (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Mike Hawks (mystery movie and Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Floyd Thursby (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Dewey Webb (Wednesday’s mystery gent), Howard Mandelbaum (mystery movie and all mystery guests), Patrick (Wednesday’s mystery gent), David Inman (Wednesday’s mystery gent, wrong movie), Lee Ann, Megan and Thom (Wednesday’s mystery gent), LC (mystery movie and mystery cast), Anne Papineau (Wednesday’s mystery gent), Bob Hansen (Wednesday’s mystery guests) and Sheila (Wednesday’s mystery gent).

My first reaction was William Windom as well, but it is clear the era and the mystery man´s girth isn´t right. I had the lucky experience of sitting next to Mr. Windom on a flight many many years ago (before ¨Murder She Wrote¨) and he was the nicest man!
