    Thank you for uploading all of these episodes of WIllie Dante with Dick Powell. I just love watching him act - what a professional. And it's great to see all of the other great actors that were in these episodes. I really enjoy this era (1950s) of film.

    Dante's Inferno -- I can't thank you enough for these episodes, all of which I first saw when I was a kid in New York City, but I don't remember which of the networks carried it in the early '50's (well it might have been ABC, Channel 7 in NYC). In later years I owned a Jag XK 120M coupe like the one featured with the eponymous Dante driving it in these episodes.

    They make out like the making of the Conqueror was the cause of their deaths and it well could have been a contributing factor, it certainly makes a good story, but the 3 stars mentioned(Wayne,Hayward and Powell) were also all 4 pack a day smokers, they were doomed to getting cancer anyway, but that is not a story anyone wants to hear, is it?

      @@rehab5355 Well I don't know but if I was a betting man(and I am) I would like to bet 88 of them were also smokers (I actually think all 89 of them were probably also smokers but leaving a margin of error), just saying that you can read what you want into statistics, there is a great quote about it I think it goes something like , "Lies, damn lies and statistics" statistics is just another word for lies unless you understand all the facts behind them
      The greatest Drug cartel in history was the Tobacco companies(still are) and Hollywood was always in bed with them until it became illegal to advertise pushing drugs, watch all of these old movies and TV shows and you will see subliminal advertising of Cigarettes, it has ZERO to do with the plot, but all the stars lit up on screen whether they smoked in real life or not because they had to, Big tobacco was paying their pay check! Dick Powel did it all the time, so did John wayne, they were in essence drug pushers and that cannot be denied, sure it was legal at the time but it was ALWAYS immoral.....Audie Murphy always refused to partake in it cos it set a bad example for young kids, as they say in the classics "just the facts ma'am, just the facts!"
