Police finally break the case after receiving an important clue. Finally, after cornering the killer during a chase on the catwalks of a refinery, the killer is revealed to be a middleaged man whose cruel disposition and unattractive appearance lead him to become The Judge.The New York Times was dismissive of the film and wrote, There is no intelligent reason why anyone should heed the proposal of Follow Me Quietly...for this utterly senseless little thriller is patently nothing more than a convenient onehour timekiller between performances of the eightact vaudeville bill. Reviewing it on DVD, Gene Triplett of The Oklahoman wrote, This obscure gem packs a remarkable amount of thrills and dramatic weight into a mere 59 minutes. Paul Mavis of DVD Talk rated it 4.55 stars and called it a strange, unsettling film noir mystery, with a disturbing subtext. ........
