You can stream Stakeout (1958) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Two detectives begin a stakeout based on the slim chance of catching a murderer whom they suspect will try to reunite with an old flame.

A hunch about a killer's romantic obsession turns a routine surveillance mission into a grueling test of patience and intuition. These detectives trade action for the slow, quiet tension of waiting for a ghost to reappear.
