What I like about these videos among other things is the narrator setting up the scene and giving you information detailing what has happened and what It. Dan is faced with. Damn good narration if you ask me.
There was a lady on here that left a comment on one if these shows that her uncle was the narrarator on this show. Pretty cool. She said when the family had get together that her be asked to talk like he did on the show. Pretty cool I thought.
How fondly I remember watching this series when it was brand new with my 2 sisters and parents when we kids were tiny! Broderick Crawford looked so old to me then, as he would to a 5 - 6 years old as I was then! Now being an elderly widow as I am today, he looks young and so handsome!!! Thank you kindly for broadcasting these shows!!!
I wouldn't call him "young and handsome." He's a bit fat. Too many of those $1.25 steadk dinners advertised at some of the road side diners in the shows. The officers are young and thin with flat stomachs, and the women are thin with actual waists. People didn't eat fast food and food full of chemicals.
@@conniewojahn6445Also, the 2 children of my late husband and I are middle aged, and older than Mr. Crawford was when these shows were new! Broderick was born in Dec. 1911 and was only in his forties when Highway Patrol was new!😊
When I was a kid, we owned one of those big old Buicks. It was air conditioned, a real luxury as well as a rarity in those days. i don't know how my parents afforded it.
The guy playing the farmer is James Anderson who played the despicable Bob Ewell in the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird". I recognized the way he walked from 5:27 to 5:29, he carried himself in the same way as in some scenes from Mockingbird.
Dan Matthews...Action Hero! Nowadays the SWAT team would surround the barn for two days or so, call in a negotiator, fire tear gas, then arrest the farmer for harboring a fugitive.
+D. M. Bell Fiction hero, but in real life he was a drunk and known as ol "502", for being a repeat DUI offender. "If you care to drive, drive with care", spoken like a true hypocrite.
Back then police programs were more subtle,and simpler they did not want to scare the pants of the families at home watching ..tv...today..... it's an all out show of blood,,gore and extreme violence...which accounts for the way the country is today. The Passive days are gone.....forever!
Gotta love it @ 23:36 after almost getting shot by the criminal,the chief comes out of the barn and the barn door latch comes down and almost takes Dan Mathews face off!
@@heyoldman2003 I think he did the stunt himself. He looked genuinely confused and dazed when he came out of the barn, and didn't even remember to retrieve his hat.
What was the roadblock-cop doing when Colton stopped in the middle of the road, in clear view, then got out (with a bleeding leg) to get an even clearer view... then got back in and turned-around? Oh well... gotta love those purring V-8's, idling on leaded-gasoline, radiating raw horsepower.
When he comes out of the barn and goes in the farmhouse to call headquarters, he asked " Send me over a couple of adult diapers, I just crap my pants after the scuffle in the barn and hurry it stinks" 😂😂😂
When Matthews comes out of the barn after the fight, he reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger at the end of Terminator 2 when he says, "I need a vacation."
I will add that the Theme Song of this Show was produced by The David Rose Orchestra, the same folks that brought us "The Stripper" theme! Check it out!! 💯😉

That's California mountains. Also, the acoustics in mountains make the difference. Crawford suspicious about the guns brought out would have been alerted. Down here in Texas and especially a Farm, they keep guns down here in case of varmits like snakes, raccoons(wild) and others. It's normal for a guy to have a gun to protect his family, property, farms and ranches. I grew up in California where the Highway patrol show was created. UTube is a great thing for all of us who like these old shows. I've seen them before but still enjoy all of them. I married a Texan. Even in the Navy when I was in California, they just don't like anyone owning guns. I used to joke that if anyone invaded Calif. they could walk in and take it if the Navy wasn't there. No, I'd rather be in Texas, despite missing the ocean. I love it here. We Texans still believe in our Country and our Freedoms. The last time me and my husband visited Calif, some guy my husband worked for told my husband, that I didn't act like a Californian despite the fact that I was born there.

They were slow to get rolling, but once they hit 40 mph or so, they would fly. Great highway cars. Lousy city cars. And don't park right up against a garage door with a '57 Buick. When you put it in reverse, it lurches forward a couple of feet and you'll break your garage door. My mother did that once with a loaner Buick when the family Ford was in the body shop.
20.52 "I'll tell you what I want you to do. See this window?" "What window?" "This one here." "Oh yeah, I see it, that one there." "Yeah, this one here. Well, I want you to keep away from it". "What, after we only just found it?"
Hey, Old Man, what questions are there to be asked? He's a ruthless killer, wounded and with nothing to lose. Do you expect the cops to lure him outside with a serenade?
This is one of my favorite shows, but this episode had a feature that was already pretty well established by the 50s. Basicly it's this: You're a civilian so you're an idiot. I noticed it back then and I didn't like it back then. It's a powerfull message. Easy to script too.
Yup, He disarms a properly armed civilian then goes after a hidden criminal with a stupid 38 snub nose by walking right in there directly in front of him. I think maybe Mathews should let the civilians handle it if he couldn't use better judgement than that! hahaha
Interesting observation. What I noticed is how women are subservient to men. In this episode, the wife spoke out when her overload husband didn't want her to. This is unusual. She was rewarded with the reward. Nice touch.
this is another one that makes absolutely no sense. When the highway patrol comes up to this guy's Farm, all he had to do was say that they had the man cornered in the barn and let them take over, they would still have gotten the reward
They did not realize that. If you had been paying attention, you would have heard them say that they thought the reward would go to the Highway Patrol.
The whole ofed point was that point dude. Even ifed did they turned ined that dude they would haved still geted the reward!! FACED PILES AND PILES OFED STICKY SWEET TRIALS AND STILL GETED $10,000.00 and LOTS OFED STRAW BERRYS PRESERVE YUMMYS BUT, I WOULD TELL TO THAT FLATS FOOT COP TO KEEPT HIS PAWS OFFED OFED MY GUNS !!!!
@@jacobsparry8525 -He would still empty ya gun, on the floor, A dumb ass farmer vs a pro bad guy. The wife would have ended up a widow. Glad she got the reward and not that clown husband.He was stupid.
@@auggie803 You are the perfect example of someone who becomes too absorbed in fiction. This is one of those shows where the civilian, or ordinary citizen is portrayed as a bumbling idiot and a dangerous fool, but the "official" is the highly competent savior. Before tv, movies didnt do that. I believe it's part of the reason the average American man now is rather feminine, psychologically weak and easily buffaloed.
Those old cars were great. Too bad you had to have the windows down most of the time. They didn't have A/C in them. That would be another 10-15 years away. Ten large at that time is equal to about $100k today!
@@holoholohaolenokaoi2299 im talking crap but i ABSOLUTELY love this show and he was kojak well before teddy reinvented the hard boiled fast talking no nonsense strictly by the book detective
Anyone else notice that when he first got in the barn that it clearly showed he only had 3 bullets for his gun. Yet he fired many shots layer on. ( ps. The farmers wife was very good looking. Vicky Bakken. You can google her up. Lots of pictures of her. Lived a long time.
Yeah, One little fender bender with today's cars and the plastic bumper falls off in the street.--Those big Buick's with steel bumpers,bolted on to a steel frame.You are very well protected.. Would be like a tank coming down the road today.
364 The 364 was introduced in 1957 and produced through 1964. The Special came standard with 2bbl carb and 250 hp (186 kW), where all others had the 4bbl, 300 hp (224 kW) engine. Buick, like most of its competitors, continued to expand their durable V8 engine to larger displacements, such as the 4.125 by 3.4 inches (bore by stroke) 364 cu in (6.0 L). 401 (400)
Let me see, I'm gonna dive on this cop to disable him but then I will help him up so he can sucker punch me. LOL I really DO like these older TV shows but sometimes the plot gets a bit humorous.
0:53 Look how the cars dipped in curves back then. Should of said I found him, blood in the barn and we have guns if he makes a run for it.24:23 SHE GETS THE 10 THOUSAND REWARD HELL YEA LADY.
I like how the bad guy shoots through the barn door from quite a distance and is able to hit one of the guys in the arm. Also, bad guy Colton could have shot Matthews in the head at close range rather than jumping him which would have made a dead Matthews look very foolish, and you have to ask why that cop standing at the barn door didn't shoot Colton when he saw that he was about to pounce on Matthews, but I guess it was because big Dan had to end up being the hero.
I'm trying to figure out he saw THROUGH THE BARN DOOR. It was only open a crack and he was way back in the back of the barn where he may have seen a small slit of light coming in, but certainly not the three men approaching.
@@wayneyadams You're right, but that is the ONLY thing that makes even a little sense in that scene. Cops wildly shooting through a barn door where they can't possibly see their target? The whole thing is ridiculous.
This is a first....... in every episode I've seen Dan Matthews always goes to a map and sets up roadblocks, not this time. Also fistfight, another first, at least for the ones I've viewed
A better fist fight: you will find Dan "in episode 92 called Policewoman" fighting for 40 seconds (from 23:42 to 24:22 ) Steve, have fun watching that one!
If you'd notice the opening chase scene! The police car had to come around those curves a lot slower that the Fury. Because of the wheel base, breaking systems, and traction control. In a real chase, they wouldn't have stood a chance. They never would have caught it.
So with the three farmers yards outside the CLOSED FRONT DOOR to the Barn, the bad guy makes A PERFECT SHOT from inside, right to the GUT of the good guy ..... ummmm, this scene needed to be reshot !
the guy actually thought that the reward was for capturing the bandit. No reward is ever posted for capturing anybody. It is only for information leading to the arrest and conviction. In fact, by lying to the police about knowing where the bandit was, he was aiding the suspect, and impeding an investigation.
4:58, a very scary piece, and 5:14, the famous Trombones’ Bomp Bomp Bommmmmmm, this piece is TC-155, from Reel S-14, also called “Black Night”. It was used on Night Of The Living Dead, 10 years after this Highway Patrol episode was made. Imagine that, a taste of Night Of The Living Dead, on Highway Patrol. . .. . .. . .. . .
7:11 Vicki Bakkin. She so mirrors actress Aline McMahon. Ive seen her in several Highway patrol episodes. Aline was very active in films up through the 1930's. I wonder if she's her daughter?
Get real, this is 1959 not 2019, You had better believe the husband got the reward. You bleeding heart liberals make me laugh when you try to apply today's societal standards to historical periods.
Oh, I'm sure that it wasn't long before the farmer was showing off his new tractor 🚜 to his farmer neighbors, and explaining how if they were braver, and hadn't got shot, they would have received a share of the reward as well. 😉 The farmers' wife got a new washboard for doing laundry.
I have a question if anyone reads this and would answer it the best they could I watch a lot of older movies and to me it seems like the acting is much better I’m wondering if it’s just because it’s in black-and-white and the movies are 50 years old or if smalltime actors were better actors 50 60 70 years ago? I can’t figure out if it’s an optical illusion or of the newer actors rely on special effects editing camera angles and things like that
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Realistically portrayed citizens/criminals/law enforcement officials. Although not a Walter Winchell. Art Gilmore did a very informative job with his narratives.
Broderick got a workout in this one. After the barn fight and he came back in the house he was really winded. Some of the fight scene he had a stand in but he also was in it. After this one was wrapped he definitely had a few.
I've gotta admit...I was kinda siding with the bad guy this time...them greedy farmers!....and being back in the 50s, I bet the farmer turned around and smacked the wife saying, "you'll give me every penny!" as soon as Broderick was out the door!
7:48; A Mystery ZIV Tune, Since 1979, l collected recording of Capitol Hi-Q Series, including some ZlV Tunes, Stings, Bridges, and more. Additional ZIV Tunes were added through the years, in 1984 I added 14 more Ziv tunes, from Reels D-5 (9 tunes) and D-6 (5 tunes), in 1985, I added 4 more from Reel M-34, they were TC-93, TC-94, TC-95, & TC-96. In 1986, Lorimar Productions send me a cassettes of Reels D-3 & D-4, adding 13 more ZlV Tunes to the collections of ZIV tunes, then in 1989, l was in Los Angeles, collecting 40 more ZlV tunes from Reels S-13 & S-14’ at Audio Effects Productions, and 30 years later, l collected 15 more ZIV Stings, from Reel S-4 in 2019, with the total of 144 ZIV pieces & Stings, from TC-1 thru TC-199, it didn’t include this mystery ZIV Tune heard beginning at 7:48. This episode of Highway Patrol also includes TC-129, TC-133’ and TC-155, with the “famous” Bomp Bomp Bommmmmmm, on the last 3 notes of the “scary” piece, It from my 1989 collection of ZIV tunes, Hope one day I’ll complete the “ZIV” Collections, on Capitol Hi-Q Series, Good Luck!
The nonsensical part of this story is that rewards are usually worded like "for information leading to the arrest and conviction of [whoever]", so the informant doesn't need to raise a finger -- just let police know where to find the person in order for an arrest to be made.
You must have ESP, how do you know they did not reload off camera between shots? The gunfight did not last one hour, and the number of shots was not excessive.
God Bless Broderick Crawford aka Dan Mathews for giving us such a great and fun show.
🍺🍺🍺🍺
Yes!!!👍👍
FUN???!!! Killing people. That’s the American idea of fun? It beggars belief. (But it explains a lot.)
Right on!!!!!!!
What I like about these videos among other things is the narrator setting up the scene and giving you information detailing what has happened and what It. Dan is faced with. Damn good narration if you ask me.
William conrad did the same in the fugitive
Exposition saves time for a series so it can be done in a half hour.
The narration is how they can do an entire full length crime show which would take 90 minutes in 25 minutes. Good job is right.
There was a lady on here that left a comment on one if these shows that her uncle was the narrarator on this show. Pretty cool. She said when the family had get together that her be asked to talk like he did on the show. Pretty cool I thought.

That's why half the audience are here - to see those cars. How boring are cars today? I was born too darn late. 🤣

This is one of those shows where the civilian, or ordinary citizen is portrayed as a bumbling idiot and a dangerous fool, but the "official" is the highly competent savior. Before tv, movies didnt do that. I believe it's part of the reason the average American man now is rather feminine, psychologically weak and easily buffaloed.
Good Episode As Usual
The reason Crawford has a driver is because for much of the series his license was suspended for drunk driving.
Excellent!.
James Anderson playing a good guy. I am shock.
Those old cars were great. Too bad you had to have the windows down most of the time. They didn't have A/C in them. That would be another 10-15 years away. Ten large at that time is equal to about $100k today!
I survived without a/c in cars and houses. My a/c had a crank, also on the small side windows -great circulation.
We called it "California Air Conditioning". Opening that little vent window directed bug splatter right into your face too!
I always notice the almost dainty way Crawford walks.
Phils Phan and runs too... forearms angled out not down and swinging as he takes the short steps

Anyone else notice that when he first got in the barn that it clearly showed he only had 3 bullets for his gun. Yet he fired many shots layer on. ( ps. The farmers wife was very good looking. Vicky Bakken. You can google her up. Lots of pictures of her. Lived a long time.
14:41, Reel S-13 TC-133, I got this recording of this ZIV Tune on cassette tape in 1989.
Don't make cars like they used to.
Coulton made three rounds go a long way.
THANK GOD THEY DON'T. THOSE CARS WERE CLUNKERS!
Yeah, One little fender bender with today's cars and the plastic bumper falls off in the street.--Those big Buick's with steel bumpers,bolted on to a steel frame.You are very well protected.. Would be like a tank coming down the road today.
@@auggie803 Those cars' motors do make a rattling sound, when on idle, and the tyre base is too narrow by modern standards.
@@alphonsozorro7952 364 cu in (6.0 L) Nailhead OHV V8
364
The 364 was introduced in 1957 and produced through 1964. The Special came standard with 2bbl carb and 250 hp (186 kW), where all others had the 4bbl, 300 hp (224 kW) engine. Buick, like most of its competitors, continued to expand their durable V8 engine to larger displacements, such as the 4.125 by 3.4 inches (bore by stroke) 364 cu in (6.0 L).

Alright 2150 waaay to slug that punk a big 10 - 4.............
Let me see, I'm gonna dive on this cop to disable him but then I will help him up so he can sucker punch me. LOL
I really DO like these older TV shows but sometimes the plot gets a bit humorous.
Have Hollywood will travel.
They always do that as if they can’t hit anyone unless they’re standing up.
Cause the fought like a man back then . No kicking ect . Just plane old fist a cuffs 😎
0:53 Look how the cars dipped in curves back then. Should of said I found him, blood in the barn and we have guns if he makes a run for it.24:23 SHE GETS THE 10 THOUSAND REWARD HELL YEA LADY.
Husband was stupid. Reward was for "...information leading to capture of...dead or alive."
I like how the bad guy shoots through the barn door from quite a distance and is able to hit one of the guys in the arm. Also, bad guy Colton could have shot Matthews in the head at close range rather than jumping him which would have made a dead Matthews look very foolish, and you have to ask why that cop standing at the barn door didn't shoot Colton when he saw that he was about to pounce on Matthews, but I guess it was because big Dan had to end up being the hero.
They all had to follow the script. You wouldn't want them to deviate from the script, would you? ;)
I'm trying to figure out he saw THROUGH THE BARN DOOR. It was only open a crack and he was way back in the back of the barn where he may have seen a small slit of light coming in, but certainly not the three men approaching.
Pay attention. He had three bullets, so his gun was empty.
@@wayneyadams You're right, but that is the ONLY thing that makes even a little sense in that scene. Cops wildly shooting through a barn door where they can't possibly see their target? The whole thing is ridiculous.
@@JackGordone *****It is TV! AKA = not real!
This is a first....... in every episode I've seen Dan Matthews always goes to a map and sets up roadblocks, not this time. Also fistfight, another first, at least for the ones I've viewed
Dan does love a good map
A better fist fight: you will find Dan "in episode 92 called Policewoman" fighting for 40 seconds (from 23:42 to 24:22 )
Steve, have fun watching that one!
pretty well dressed, laid back farmer. clothes nice and clean. Greed and arrogance always leads to their down fall.
Tiny farms they had in California back then. Two local farmers arrive straight away.
The only time I ran into a supervisor was at the office or if work a football game.... In 31 years.
If you'd notice the opening chase scene! The police car had to come around those curves a lot slower that the Fury. Because of the wheel base, breaking systems, and traction control. In a real chase, they wouldn't have stood a chance. They never would have caught it.
Nice case scene....drifting cool!!!
Dirty Dan is the man.
That farmer plays a real crud sometimes on dragnet and gunsmoke.
Like taking candy from a baby as he takes a round in the chest
Where do the bad guys get all these fancy new cars?
They steal them. They're bad guys.
So with the three farmers yards outside the CLOSED FRONT DOOR to the Barn, the bad guy makes A PERFECT SHOT from inside, right to the GUT of the good guy ..... ummmm, this scene needed to be reshot !
the guy actually thought that the reward was for capturing the bandit. No reward is ever posted for capturing anybody. It is only for information leading to the arrest and conviction. In fact, by lying to the police about knowing where the bandit was, he was aiding the suspect, and impeding an investigation.
Just thinking.
Excellent Episode, Acting, Ending.
Understood nationally, City, State, Federal law enforcement get no reward only a salary.
Back then 10 grand got you 3 new cars.
4:58, a very scary piece, and 5:14, the famous Trombones’ Bomp Bomp Bommmmmmm, this piece is TC-155, from Reel S-14, also called “Black Night”. It was used on Night Of The Living Dead, 10 years after this Highway Patrol episode was made. Imagine that, a taste of Night Of The Living Dead, on Highway Patrol. . .. . .. . .. . .
7:11 Vicki Bakkin. She so mirrors actress Aline McMahon. Ive seen her in several Highway patrol episodes. Aline was very active in films up through the 1930's. I wonder if she's her daughter?
$10,000 in 1957 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $107,060.50 today, an increase of $97,060.50 over 66 years in 2023!
The body lean on that 4 door fury at beginning i wonder if to this there is piles of hubcaps
On that curve ..lmao
18:42, to 18:56, A ZIV play-off, Reel S-13 TC-129, I collected this recording in 1989.
The husband didn't get the reward,the wife got it
Get real, this is 1959 not 2019, You had better believe the husband got the reward. You bleeding heart liberals make me laugh when you try to apply today's societal standards to historical periods.
-GOOD. The husband was a jerk thinking he could outsmart a pro con.
I cant believe that so many people become involved in fiction to such a degree that you see it as representing reality.
@@roysterfutrell8889 You better not be saying Highway Patrol isn't real.
Oh, I'm sure that it wasn't long before the farmer was showing off his new tractor 🚜 to his farmer neighbors, and explaining how if they were braver, and hadn't got shot, they would have received a share of the reward as well. 😉
The farmers' wife got a new washboard for doing laundry.
The old 1 2 with a fallow through. Farrmer's wife gets the money she's due.
That Guy Had A Good Wife.
Been a long time since I've seen a white sidewall tire. I wonder if they still sell them...and I wonder why they ever made them.lol
They made white wall tires because they are beautiful... And yes, they make them yet, I got them on my cars..
@@rogersundfors3363 - _YOU_ are the one ... ! I had a feeling there was someone out there with those tires. 😁
@Roger Sundfors. They do not only make them but there's even a song about them. Here's Mickey Jupp with CHEVROLET Enjoy!
I have a question if anyone reads this and would answer it the best they could I watch a lot of older movies and to me it seems like the acting is much better I’m wondering if it’s just because it’s in black-and-white and the movies are 50 years old or if smalltime actors were better actors 50 60 70 years ago? I can’t figure out if it’s an optical illusion or of the newer actors rely on special effects editing camera angles and things like that
Real actors back then. Terrible now.
Everything nowadays is explosions, sex ... They use all that stuff because they can't act.
🔵SPEND IT, DON'T GIVE IT TO THIS GUYS JUST SPEND IT.🔴
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Realistically portrayed citizens/criminals/law enforcement officials. Although not a Walter Winchell. Art Gilmore did a very informative job with his narratives.
Art & Walt were half siblings
Broderick got a workout in this one. After the barn fight and he came back in the house he was really winded. Some of the fight scene he had a stand in but he also was in it. After this one was wrapped he definitely had a few.
I've gotta admit...I was kinda siding with the bad guy this time...them greedy farmers!....and being back in the 50s, I bet the farmer turned around and smacked the wife saying, "you'll give me every penny!" as soon as Broderick was out the door!
7:48; A Mystery ZIV Tune, Since 1979, l collected recording of Capitol Hi-Q Series, including some ZlV Tunes, Stings, Bridges, and more. Additional ZIV Tunes were added through the years, in 1984 I added 14 more Ziv tunes, from Reels D-5 (9 tunes) and D-6 (5 tunes), in 1985, I added 4 more from Reel M-34, they were TC-93, TC-94, TC-95, & TC-96. In 1986, Lorimar Productions send me a cassettes of Reels D-3 & D-4, adding 13 more ZlV Tunes to the collections of ZIV tunes, then in 1989, l was in Los Angeles, collecting 40 more ZlV tunes from Reels S-13 & S-14’ at Audio Effects Productions, and 30 years later, l collected 15 more ZIV Stings, from Reel S-4 in 2019, with the total of 144 ZIV pieces & Stings, from TC-1 thru TC-199, it didn’t include this mystery ZIV Tune heard beginning at 7:48. This episode of Highway Patrol also includes TC-129, TC-133’ and TC-155, with the “famous” Bomp Bomp Bommmmmmm, on the last 3 notes of the “scary” piece, It from my 1989 collection of ZIV tunes, Hope one day I’ll complete the “ZIV” Collections, on Capitol Hi-Q Series, Good Luck!
The nonsensical part of this story is that rewards are usually worded like "for information leading to the arrest and conviction of [whoever]", so the informant doesn't need to raise a finger -- just let police know where to find the person in order for an arrest to be made.
Dan wipes up some blood then wipes it off on his pants …lookie here
23:05 No stunt man huh? Surprised, could easily be a back injury months later.
Dan Mathews: " Hey, that wasn't in the script!"
James Anderson = Bob Ewell, *To Kill a Mockingbird*
Great police show back than
The Highway Patrol boys never reload their guns, even after 1 hour shooting it out with the bad guys! Regards
+Lazarus0357 hollywood clips, everyone needs one.
Endless bullets!
You must have ESP, how do you know they did not reload off camera between shots? The gunfight did not last one hour, and the number of shots was not excessive.
Brod a pro, only one take needed.
One-take Dan.
"Colton can't be far...." How far must he be before you guys can hear rifle shots ffs?
The highway patrol only needed Mathew's, I'm surprised he didn't do the dispatch and maintenance of vehicles and buildings
I'm not sure he didn't. And if he could think how to hold the brush while carrying a tray of coffee he would have swept the floors as well.
I think I would have borrowed one of those rifles if I was Matthews>
