  • The GOLDEN AGE of TELEVISION: This episode, originally from season 3 of the anthology series Four Star Playhouse, was first broadcast by CBS on April 28, 1955. Restored and edited by PizzaFLIX with recreated titles.
    Stars: Dick Powell, Jean Willes, Tristram Coffin
    Created by: Blake Edwards
    Former card shark Willie Dante runs a nightclub with a not-so-secret casino tucked in the back. Although it seems to be just another night at his joint, he bumps into an old flame who reveals that the party she's with wants to stick up the place. Keep an eye out for a cameo by Jack Benny.
    TRIVIA: Originally created by Blake Edwards for the anthology series Four Star Playhouse in 1953~1955. Eight episodes were produced by and starred Dick Powell. The show was revisited in 1960 by producer Dick Powell as an actual TV series called "Dante," but this time starred Howard Duff and set in San Francisco instead of Los Angeles.

    Dick Powell seems to be channelling Rick Blaine a little bit but carries it off with his suave charm. Good to see the wonderful Alan Mowbray as well. Jack Benny is his usual marvellous self.
    Love these 4 Star Playhouse productions!

      They don't make tv shows like this anymore because late-stage hyper-capitalism has destroyed most of human culture. The human being and human culture were identified as threats to corporate profits. So they had to be destroyed. Sorry to break it to you.
