How they used index cards to seemingly manage the entire world still amazes me!
And the phone system was totally connected and routed by human operators literally plugging in wires and cables.
That’s the way we used to do it !
the system works really well
Paper files and metal file cabinets ruled before desk top computers appeared in
the 1990s.
That's still how I manage my little world...
Amazing how it’s possible to tell a fairly complicated story in 26 minutes.
They had talent back then
They cut out the extraneous. It's the Dragnet model.
This makes 3 I've never seen. I appreciate these. I pretty much lie in bed all the time, now. That makes me so much more appreciative of the internet. These are so crisp and clear, too. My eyes are not as good, as they used to be, and the videotaped ones make it difficult to see. Thank you so very much, and God bless you for putting these up. Really nice of you!
Glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for the nice comment.
i recommend the radio series, they reduce eye strain and are just as well written and acted. There are over 500 episodes.
I'm 82 and I know how you feel. These episodes sure help pass the time. Best of luck to you.
I've not seen it either.ive seen all the color episodes but they are many b.w. episodes I would like to see.
@@AB-kg6rk I wonder where to get those radio recordings I would like that and less eye strain..
wow! they had this episode on the radio series but never saw it on tv. Great surprise! 👍
The days when televisions were sent out for repair. These old shows are great.

That a lot of people couldn't afford.
@@Thomas-yr9ln what is your point? Relative cost of living there are still a lot of things people cannot afford. At least then people had jobs repairing things instead of sending junk to landfills. Again, what is your point? My point: Times were different. People dressed well to eat dinner out. People dressed well to travel. Children had two parents. Do you get it?
Could take your own tubes to a store, check them, buy new needed, take home and replace yourself.
@@jamesschwartz3837 Yes, I remember that!
The boys in the supremely daring knife fight were members in good standing of the Jets and the Sharks.
One Of The Best Musical Movies."West Side Story".
Filmed 1961..,
Gang Warfare In The 1950's.
Interesting To Have Musical With
New York City's Bad Part Of Town.
Great Movie, Actors, Actress. Natalie Wood, This And "Rebel Without A Cause" 1955 Her Best Movies. Watch These Movies.
I think this is the first time they've ever shown bloody injuries on a victim on this show. Can't remember another episode of that actually.
There is an episode called "The Big Girl." In it was a victim that was pretty bloody after being shot.
Jack Edwards was very good at playing those bitter characters with an axe to grind. I first saw him in "Highway Patrol", an episode called Motorcycle A where he plays the embittered owner of a café whose wife was seriously injured by motorcycle bums. This Highway Patrol episode also features a young actor by the name of Clint Eastwood.
yeah he stay by the licka store. right cross from the barber shop.
sounds cool !
Amazing, they actually showed blood. Not done back then.
14:29 - A decade after, William Boyett would play Sgt. MacDonald, a.k.a. Mac, in another fine Jack Webb production, "Adam-12".
Yep and at the time he was by then a semi regular on "Highway Patrol" during their last season (1958-59) He had appeared sporadically on the show from the very first season.
The voice is more recognizable than the face. Great radio voice.
Jack Webb was fiercely loyal to the actors he worked with and used them in his productions whenever and wherever he could. Familiar faces like Olan Soule, Virginia Gregg, Don Dubbins, Ralph Moody, Vic Perrin, Stacy Harris, and a host of others would show up regularly in Webb's shows.
@@silverhammer7779… Leonard Nimoy was a ‘teenage delinquent’ in one Dragnet episode.
@@ernestgalvan9037 I remember that one. Nimoy was in a lot of interesting stuff when he was just starting out, such as 1952's "Zombies Of The Stratosphere" which he played a space alien. Arguably, this foreshadowed the role that would eventually make him a household name.
Been a big dragnet fan for years and finally some episodes come along that never seen before. Thanks a bunch for these uploads!!!
You're welcome.
Claudia Bryar ("Edith Tamber") was 46 years old here and appeared in almost every television series in the 50's - 80's era. She retired from acting when her husband of 45 years, Paul Bryar, died in 1985. Her late son Paul adopted the surname Barrere and was a member of the band "Little Feet."
William Boyet ("Lt. Mort Geer") of course, was one of Webb's stable of actors who would appear in almost all of his productions.
Hazel Franklyn ("Elva Higby") also played a role in the episode "The Big Beer" in the previous season of Dragnet.
The opening announcer is none other than George Fenneman, who became a nationally-known figure as the on-screen announcer and side-kick for the entire 11-year run of the "You Bet Your Life" TV series with Groucho Marx. Fenneman was the opening announcer for Dragnet's entire first series, where this episode came from, as well as the 1967 series of Dragnet. Fenneman was the most sought-after voice talent in his day and was never out of work.
Nice background! Maybe you know why it was called "The Big Bed"? Had me scratching my head...
@@philc8575My guess is because of the Murphy bed ("wall bed"), which was rather large (early scene).
Interesting! Little Feat was one of my all time favorite bands: "Willin'" and "Fat Man in the Bathtub" come to mind immediately.
And Paul Barrere wrote several of their more popular songs.
Thanks for the info.
@@larrywest42
Yes, you're right! I forgot about that!
thank you Sally this why I still read the comments even if it hurts my old eyeballs some. hey thanks
Thank you for a clear version of this episode and others.
To the account manager: I want to commend you for cleaning up the picture quality; you've done an excellent job!
Thank you very much!
yes a crisp and clean print very easy on the eyes my deal is the audio....very good quality sound.@MoviecraftInc
William Boyett one of my favorites, he's everywhere, Highway Patrol, Adam 12,Dragnet 50's & 60's ,I wonder how many more shows that's he's been in that I don't know about, I loved how he (to me) played Sgt. MACDONALD but in every series an alternate version of his COP character, like stepping thru a multiverse, I just discovered the 50's Dragnet and was super pleased to see him in it. New Old Treasures. Thanks BILL,✌️to you from SPACE RANGER JYM 🚀
The homoerotic subtext in this was pretty daring for the times!
Wow. That ending. In the 60's. Wow.
June, 1958, was the air date.
An EXCELLENT show.
It sure is!
On radio, Dragnet was the first program to deal with sex crimes.
Indubidubly 🙂
Awesome! A B&W Dragnet I haven’t seen until now. Thanks so much for this one. I keep hoping that someday they will release the entire 1950’s Dragnet on DVD or streaming.
I have never seen this episode. I thought I had seen all the 60 something epidodes known to exist. This gives me hope for more episodes.
im 60 and i watched the Dragnet reruns in the real early 70s that sure was a long while past 1958. I did not know the show was that old. dm, dm, dm, dm, dmm...
What a Great Tv Show !
This is a great, quality print. Well done! Thank you for this find!
My pleasure!
Friday had the coolest voice!!
But no one ever solved the mystery of women's hats.
i like watching touched up footage from the early 1900's. Those hats were wild.
I would say women's fashion in general.
Thank you for the original Dragnet TV series on NBC Television from June 5, 1958 (Season 7). BTW, I recognize Claudia Bryar as the woman in the Perry Mason episode, The Case of the Nervous Accomplice, aired on October 4, 1957, on CBS-TV. I have seen the reruns. And yet this episode aired during that same season.
He pulled the Impossible, he pulled “The Switch”.
That was the first dead body ive seen on the show. Wild episode.
our miss brooks, dragnet, and gunsmoke were on tv and radio both at the same time. if you watch carefully you can see and hear the tv shows were almost word for word and action for action duplicates of the radio script. producers didn't have time or money to make changes.
❤ love dragnet ❤
I used to watch this with my Dad in the 1950s, we used say This story is true only the story has been changed, to protect the guilty and think we were very funny!
Moviecraft Inc., I really enjoyed this video, so I hit the like button!
Joes partner
Is Martin Milners uncle
Much appreciated!
Someone ought to compile all of the great opening panoramic vista shots of LA into a single time capsule video.
I'd like the whole openings ...!
Hilarious how they create a story about gay violence but never say it’s about gay violence!
"Met them once and don't know much about them"... a LOT of murder victims could say that exact thing about the person the met in some bar or from a dating app. Damn scary.
An understated gay theme .
after watching this I thought the same thing
@@garyrowe5579definitely a crime of passion!
@@dobeus8957 Definite FRUIT KILLING
Not gay they didn’t allow gays in the military back then. They were just friends
Scientology, anarchy, and boogaloo is more like a threesome.
Since she's older he would have addressed her as ma'am just the facts ma'am a little humor here every one have a bright sunny day filled with love and happiness 😊💞
I like just about all of your videos!
Thank You...
For some reason I have never seen this episode before. Moviecraft had an episode I also had never seen.
Good stuff.
Thanks!
Love those cars but, oh, the sister's hat!😂
Great episode
An adaptation of "The Big Almost No Show", episode #138 of the radio series.
Ben Alexander owned a Ford dealership here in Los Angeles for several years. I seem to recall that it was still open in the earl Sixties.
San Francisco as well.I remember being a little scared ,we went to one of his promotions,he served me a hot dog,grilling in lot etc thanks.😂
Yes. It was in Highland Park.
So let's see...
- He was a Navy lad.
- His friend was a Navy chap.
- He kept a neat apartment.
- He was inseparable from his friend.
- His friend was inseparable from him!
- He kept being denied access to him.
Clearly! This was a case of theft gone wrong!!!
In love and had a lover's quarrel.
In the year this was made, the cops would have called it homo-cide
@@marcot3333 lol
How did actor Jack Webb keep a straight face when he was talking to Edith Tambor? That goofy ribbon perched on her head was a funny distraction. Did the director have to do several takes while Webb laughed his ass off?
That was a funny scene...but back the 50's maybe a hat like that was mainstream.
I like the soward holding it on like a super hat pin also defensive weapon
I thought it was a dead bird for a minute.
No humor there, that is how women dressed then, nothing to see here.
Harry Morgan (a very capable actor who played Colonel Potter on MASH) was on this show for years as Friday's partner. He called it his 'stick figure' period.
I was kind of hoping that this episode would have a really odd twist and it would turn out that his sister killed him.
I thought that too!!!,
14:10 four hours to drive - on the freeway - the ~110 miles from downtown LA to northern San Diego.
~30 mph average speed.
That's before the 405 (1964) and before the 5 was completed, though the 101 was there.
Now that's a 2.5 hour drive, staying at the speed limit. Unless you hit traffic, in which case 4 hours might be good.
I wonder why Frank Smith wasn't a sergeant, like Friday was. Friday's original partner, Ben Romero, was also a sergeant.
I hope you find more episodes of Dragnet soon.
Hate to say that's all the "lost" Dragnets we have in the archive right now. Always looking.
William Boyett 14:23 Highway Patrol - Adam-12
I miss dragnet, that was a good good show
The trauma they had to endure.
There will always be someone wanting favors forever for just one they did for you. Pathetic. Today, murdering his 'lover' brutally with theft, dude be given life, no parole, even death penalty. He prob got out in 7yrs and did it again. They are true stories afterall.
Hey man, that dead guy would've been smelled bad.
How did he stand up, too?
smelled it 6 times,retired building maintenance.you are right on about that smell,unforgettable, thanks.
@@mikeh.7499 How awful for you!
Jack Webb was the MAN in "The D.I."
Angels Flight the background of the knife fight.
When did this one show up! Thought I’d seen every BW! Nice surprise!
'Andy' was gay. That's what the sailor suit mess was all about. He and "Ralph' were lovers.
ANDY WAS GAY BOBBY ORR NO BRAINER disagree 👎🏼 that his roommate was gay 🔝
Ms. Edith Tamber is a fine figure of a woman. 🙂
But I like your videos
I became Violent _ my Boyfriend's Dead 🤕
Everyone of them are dead. Time is the biggest murderer.
Yay
714 is also an area code in CA..below Los Angeles of that time
Never heard of little feet will look them up
Obviously, Andrew Howard confessed before Miranda warnings were required.
Jack and Bart and Ben ❤❤❤
Ralph and Andy had a thing going on.
Killer was a gay Robert Oppenheimer 😮
The Big Sur.
0:32 This was made in 1957 (MCMLVII) not 1958
Pro tip trivia: The real name of this episode was The Big Homos but sensibilities of the times precluded that as the official name for broadcast purposes.
AUSGEZEICHNET 👍🏼 ABSOLUTELY VERY GOOD WITH THAT THE BIG HOMO © 😊 excellent 😮 Alfred Hitchcock very scary very connected to Aliester Crowley 🔝 😕 🔫 💣 😂 THE BIG HOMO you commented did you get a 23 hour RED YELLOW FLAG from TH-cam community guidelines?
Excellent story, perfect video quality (for its age) , and BEST of all the audio level of ads is kept at least 10db BELOW the program level! Thank you "Moviecraft Inc."! You have just added another subscriber!!!!
Wow, thanks!
Another mini-weathor report!
RALPHY RALPHY COULD'VE BEEN A CONTENDER 🥊 ©
They were tormented lovers.
But, Edith's hat
Andy the killer was an Insane man who was killing women he met as lonely heart pen pals on an episode of Highway Patrol with Mathew Broderick.
Even the TV criminals have priors for violent felonies and are still back on the streets... yeesh!
With friends like Claire Peterson who needs enemies?
You have a slight error in your title it's 1957 not 1958.
The copyright says 1957, but the first TV airing was in 1958. We are both right!
😅
Love how in these Dragnet episodes dead people are found days after their murder, with no odor or signs of decomp.
It’s the ocean air…
PRISON CRUEL INSIDE OUTSIDE PRISON
Its Moe did it
Highway patrol...ha
A show about Gay lovers in the early sixties was daring.
How did you decide they were gay?
@@jeffbybee5207 stereotypes how else?
The murder and the victim were very obviously gay. They had to step carefully with that subject.
Really horrible comments on here
Isn’t the waitress “date”, Annette Funichello???
1:09 Gay Bicycle seat placement, unrideable
Lots of bicycles had loose parts on them, nothing odd about that seat, there were ALWAYS bikes with tilted seats, drooping handlebars, wobbly fenders, even wibble-wobble tires.
I lived through that era.
21:50 ... wow, gay much?
Gay
Wow I have been watching Dragnet TV and Radio episodes for DECADES, but this Channel has recently
posted several Black & White TV episodes that I have never seen! WHAT A TREAT!!!! THANK YOU! ❤🔥
