Gotta love those (now) old cars with carburetors. I noticed the cop car Mathews was driving belched out a nice cloud of black smoke when he started it up. No emissions controls back in the day. Now you just about have to have an electrical engineering degree to open the hood, let alone trying to figure what's wrong.
There's that solid light grey '57 Ford Custom 300 four door sedan again - shows up in half the episodes! Wonder where it is now .... hope it still survives.
The Dodge patrol car was a very special car. Don't remember all the details, but the chrome exhaust tips identify it as an A300? Bumper cutaways for the tips. These were very special high performance cars. Very rare.
Some of us get that day put in front of us...Back when I sold Real Estate many years ago I sold a real nice family home to a couple with kids and a Grand Mother in tow they all were going to live there . The couple went back to the State they were from and sent Grand Mother a Cashiers check ...a blank Cashiers check for the full price of the home she gave the blank check to me in the office ....When I looked and saw the pay too line blank I started to shake...lol...she turned to walk away...I knew I had to stop her before she got out that door....I did...we sat down and wrote the title Companys name on there and put it in the RE Office safe...I guess in todays dollars it would be well over a Million or more by now , and I was a starving RE agent at that time....Me for the win !....lol..all I could see was me in Mexico with all that money and their Grand Mother and kids sitting on the curb....and maybe Dan chasing me up those stairs ...not a pretty sight
Since these are all based off accounts of real crimes, is this show just an example of terrible television writing, or is this how criminals really acted back then when they were caught? Every episode ends up with the criminal getting cornered, and Matthews pulls out his gun, says something slick, and the criminal just pretty much "gives up" and walks casually with officers back to the waiting police car. There was never a struggle back in the 50's? Criminals just put their hands up, said, "well? Ya got me!" and they walked away civilly, never a need for the criminal or a single patrolmen to soil his uniform by rolling in the dust and dirt? No criminal ever went hands on with Matthews, or forced him to chase after them? I'd love to see Matthews snuff out his cigarette and scale a wooden privacy fence, just once! Lol. Also, what's with the utter lack of black crime back in the 50's!? Is that how the country was back then!? If so.. what the hell happened!? Based on this show, America's public enemy number 1 was young, clean-cut, white, males, and the occasional devoted girlfriend or wife! This show paints a picture of America in the 50's where black and brown people didn't exist, and if they did, they stayed completely hidden from society and never committed any crimes!
Shouldn't the assault charge have been against the old man for slapping the kid first?? The kid just reacted. Just because the old man lost the fight doesn't mean he is right.
that appears to have been filmed in a SP railroad yard. in two scenes during the case a long 7 bay building appears in the background and two locomotives 2 the right. one appears to be an SP diesel, the other a PE electric. but where exactly? the hill in the far background could pinpoint the location.
First came across this series last week. First i thought it was hoaky, but now I am addicted to them. Broderick Crawford was a great film noire actor and he bought his talent to the small screen.
Is in some ways, hokey, but that's because they're viewed by people who have decades of progress and accumulated knowledge not available back when these episodes were filmed.
@@conniewojahn6445They weren’t living in the Stone Age back then! There had just been another World War, followed by Korea, people may not have been so wealthy as they mostly are now, but they were just as smart. They were not however as arrogant as they are today!
@@wb6162 Recently released documents show that the US government had been secretly developing global warming and after successful tests in California they rolled it across the country and publicly announced it.
Assault charge, he slapped him across the face first, why didn't either of them mention it. Another point is why are they dragging around a suspect on an investigation
@@reynaldoflores4522 He threw the only punch and killed the man. A backhand slap is not a punch. You need to look at the age of both men, and all of the factors as it was a "civil" case over money that should have went to court based on facts. After the man was knocked down he left. Huge factor! It would have been a manslaughter charge to a grand jury who would decide the facts. Remember this TV, not real life!
$12,000 in 1957 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $128,472.60 today, an increase of $116,472.60 over 66 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.66% per year between 1957 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 970.60%.
I’m reminded of the Hanna-Barbera spoof, “Freeway Patrol.” Huckleberry Hound is more like Andy Griffith, than Broderick Crawford. th-cam.com/video/PYM5Y7rf4zA/w-d-xo.html
After climbing those stairs I'll bet ol' Dan Had leg cramps that night, or was that a body double. Anyway, I'm hooked on HP and already dreading coming to the end of the episodes. Guess I'll do what I do with the Bob Bailey "Johnny Dollar" radio series, I'll start all over. Thanks for making these and others available.
Crawford talks like he knows this is a 30 minutes show (which of course HE DOES !!!). Also notice thar they never handcuffed the suspect and constantly walks in front of him
Great episode!! Crawfodr is awesome and this show would be nothing without him!👍👍
Dante KO another felon .
It’s not very much with him!
Old man who has a glass jaw shouldn't be back handing a young man. My words of wisdom for the day.
Old man is so arrogant and stupid he only has money
this is one my favorite HP episodes, everything the cars, the homes, the roads all vintage 50's

Agree!
$12,000 in 1957 is the equivalent of $121,000 today. Niiiice!
Not really..gas was 25¢ or less.....48,000 gallons.Gas today was $3,30 so $158,400.00
@@donnienicholson6062 Wrong. I just checked it. $12,000 in 1957 would be the equivalent of $129, O49.00 as of now 11:25pm March 12, 2023.
Just love Dan's smirks....20:54 "keep your hands in your pockets kid..."

300's were Chryslers. This looks like the Dodge D-500, with dual quads.

why?? did that big mouth boss tip off the guy who stole the money makes no sense what so ever!!!
It made for a poor ending with a pointless chase up those rickety stairs.
23:33 Yippie my 1st police chase with the series.

Old man?! Late middle-aged at the most, I would say.
Broderick Crawford had that rapid fire delivery of his lines like you saw in the 30's and 40's in the movies.
"Sure a lot of money. Doesn't look so good now, does it?" -Dan "Gets his man" Matthews!

Another good episode. 👍
Typical. Morgan hit the contractor first and the cops charge the contractor with assault.
You weren't paying very careful attention

It is hokey. But it's a classic. Brod's performance eclipses the sometimes mundane acting and plots.

Those hand rails looked really loose when Dan was running up stairs.
Not loose enough.
Always so simple, and so good. Thanks
That music at the beginning of the episode & when the cars pull up to the house sounds like Dragnet music
Highway Patrol was first so Dragnet copycat HP!
Dan left a bundle of cash in the guys jacket when he arrested him. 💵
🔵DUMBELL, SHOULD'LL TAKEN THE MONEY OWE TO HIM OUT OF T H E SAFE AND BYE BYE GUYS.🔴
20:55 I don't think Dan likes me. You're just gonna leave and make me walk? Thanks a lot Mr.Dan. What a nice guy. 😆
And the poor young guy was still out of pocket at the end. Would have been nice for him to have got the money owed to him.
A bunch of construction guys, but Preston was obviously a framer
SIngle door cop cars. Dispatcher talking into the top of a side facing microphone! lol
Yes, single doors back then, and the mic picks up her voice from any position in front of it. LoL!
And a Hallicrafters SX-42 receiver in the radio console in the office!
You can watch these old black-and-white pictures anytime.
Must have been a severe drought when they were filming these. Always lots of dust. Break out the heavy duty air filters!
+Barney Fife ..global warming.
+James Ruddy Right!
It's LA. It doesn't rain there from April till October. That's normal every year.
Hold on, global warming wasn't invented yet. How could it have been hot and dry back then?

Unlawful search of vehicle. Dan needed a search warrant. I won’t tell.
How can he even be charged for assault when the man hit him first? That is lousy work by Mathews.
A "slap" is not assault, but harassment, Assault caused an injury. Good work by Mathews!
@@richardcarine8929 But there was sufficient provocation to justify the attack.

Can't say for sure but could be Pasadena, Glendale area because of houses in the hills.
They filmed it in my greenhouse. I got 12 dollars, quite a lot in those days and enough to stock up on petunias and chrysanthemums.
That female dispatcher is a real hot cutie. I bet Matthews and all his men had tried asking her out on a date!
Matthews was too drunk, to get it up
assault when the old guy hit him first ? I like how the bad guys would always run up but with no place to go.........pure cornball.
