Talk about a rapid fire exchange!😂 No one did it better than Jack & his actors.
"Just the facts, ma'am!"
didnt he also do adam 12 and Emergency.? great shows.
The sound of the rotary dial phone, miss them
Back in 1952, when this show was first broadcast, there was no requirement to give the suspect Miranda warnings (that did not come along until 1966), and whether the recording was legal made no difference, because prior to 1955, California courts admitted illegally seized evidence as long as it was relevant. The California Constitution gave him the right to have counsel present, but he never asked for a lawyer, did he? And even if he had, and they had denied it, his statements likely would be admitted into evidence so long as they were voluntarily made. The Warren Court changed all that, which is why we do not see this sort of procedure on the 1967-1970 version of Dragnet.
Not hard to see suspects were brow-beaten and fitted-up back in the day.
As a fan of Outer Limits, I always like hearing the "control voice" Vic Perrin in an acting role.
The chemistry will all three cast members were spot on!
This is what we called in theater a "three hander" and this is simply brilliant. I love the Barney Phillips as Ed Jacobs episodes. I wish Jack had kept him around another season or two.
The problem with Barney was that he sounded too much like Jack (especially on radio). Herb Ellis replaced him as "Frank Smith"- and then Ben Alexander finally assumed the role by the end of 1952.
@@fromthesidelines In Ben Alexander, Webb found the ideal actor to portray Friday's partner Joe Smith in whatever department of the LAPD that both characters were assigned to. 😁
"The first notable role of his career was the recurring character Sergeant Ed Jacob in the police procedural television series "Dragnet" (1951-1959). "
So eight years. I think the entire run of the first series.
Looks like he was on the show less as his career took off.
Thank you for the Dragnet episode, The Big Phone Call, aired May 22, 1952, on NBC Television. Love the rapid-fire delivery of Webb's Sgt. Joe Friday and the other two characters, a classic, hallmark portrayal that personified the series on radio and TV. It never grows stale, in my opinion.
This is a film makers delight! Notice the story never left the room! As a screenwriter we quickly learn to write a very good interesting script and keep location to a bare minimum so budget costs make it viable. The producer adds good actors to a good script and you got a winner! This was the case of 12 ANGRY MEN
In order to keep production costs reasonable, Jack often filmed these kind of "bottle" episodes, where the action took place in just one room.
@@fromthesidelines 👍😁
no it wasn't, 12 angry men was about a hood with a knife, and inner city teen in a murder, nothing even remote connected to the plot of this episode. are you a bot to be so incoherent and trying to me smart? or what?
@@bgh8904 What makes you think the guy is a bit, you dummy? 😠
... 12 angry men was similar in terms of being filmed on a limited set like this production was, which was clearly the point being made@@bgh8904
Who gives this classic a thumbs down???
THEIVES.
DA George Gascon.
Criminals
ANTIFA?🤷🏻♀️
My husband hates this show. He says it’s boring and slow. I like the simplicity and the references to LA since I grew up here.
Vic Perrin is a part of the Star Trek TOS history log…the voice of Nomad in The Changeling
The actor playing Garvey was the late Vic Perrin, who appeared in the 1950s and 1960s "Dragnet" movies, a few episodes of the series, and was the "Control Voice" of the original "Outer Limits".
A "few" episodes? Perrin was a charter member of Jack Webb's "stock company", and turned up *a lot* on the radio and TV episodes.
@@fromthesidelines He was also the elevator operator in Don't Bother To Knock(1952) who says to Marilyn Monroe's mentally ill character Nell "Are you OK, lady?" towards the end of the movie. 😁
He was also NOMAD on the Star Trek TOS episode The Changeling
He also played another character on Star Trek. In the episode Mirror Mirror. He played the leader who did not want to turn over the crystals.
Vic Perrin was a good. character actor throughout the fifties and sixties.
A very educational episode. I learned to dial 9 to get an outside line.
Or, you just pull out your cell phone.
"The suspect was tried and convicted of robbery in the first degree.
The judge suspended the sentence and remanded the suspect to the custody of his wife!"
DOM-DA-DOMM-DOMM! 🤣
7:50; If "Bewitched" is the drinking-est television show, "Dragnet" is the smoking-est.
MAD Magazine did a hilarious spoof of the show and in every other frame, the characters are offering one another cigarette until they're smoking dozens at once!
"Me a cigarette too?"
Friday speaking with his usual clipped, rapid-fire delivery.
Perp responds in exactly the same way.
I love it!
That was how Webb wanted his character to sound on both radio and television; the same applied to the other characters on the program.
A little background on Joe Friday from a 1949 radio broadcast. He was 34 years old (1915), single, lived with his widowed mother on Colfax Avenue, had an aunt who lived in LA and an Uncle Fred who lived in Spokane Washington. Dated, nobody he was serious about, and had a dog.
34 year old, lives at home, no close female friend. Today he'd be called a closet case.
@@James_Bowie
He made up for it later...
EXCELLENT!!!! Gotta love Friday
Friday's, partner was in a show that a exterestual being, outer limits one, came to earth and was talking to him. And the end he lifted up something and a third eye
Yes that was a twilight zone episode about venusians vs martians.
Garvey likely got more peace in Q than he'd had the last couple of years with his wife and kids.
You got a good point there lol
For real.
'Take me to jail. I dont care. '
That's a broken man right there.
No school like the OLD SCHOOL!
Never saw this partner before. Very interesting!
Los Angeles is "pretty much like your town"? He must be joking! LA is its own world!
This is just class😮c acting . 1950 everyone so pay attention
that was great...
22:00 in the radio version during this last call attempt before the admission Friday says 'what's the matter Garvey? Don't forget to dial nine!' and you can just hear his smile.
With friends like Garvey, who need enemies.
Garvey is a jeweler who can at least afford an attorney on retainer so he can tell Friday and Jacobs to take a hike!
Excellent episode.
No Comment living upto the presentation. Alas. And but of course. Dr Virna.Pandey
Adapted from the February 14, 1952 radio episode.
Sometimes the radio and television episodes aired concurrently.
"Dial 9".
That's what finally broke him! 🤣
I can pay you.. then he changes his mind. Everything is perfect on this.
vic perrin was that creepy voice in beginning of outer limits. do not tune youre television set!!!!!!!
I certainly hope that this guy has learned his lesson that day.
"You Have The Right to Remain Silent. Don't Say a Damn Thing to Anyone Without an Attorney Present!!!!"
He didn’t have that right then. Miranda didn’t come until 1966
the guy reminds me of my exhusband--present hard evidence of his lying and stealing to him. .denies everything, it's all a big plot and lie against him, everyone else is lying, blah blah. infuriating
I think we all know someone like that. It IS infuriating.
Actors of the 1950's post WW2. I loved Barney Phillips. No Maranda in 1950 ⚡️⚡️
Heh, heh his wife was a shopaholic!
Never marry a shopaholic 😂😂😂
Dial 9 to get an outside line.
0:24 look at that smog.
That was back in 1952. I wonder what "Detective A I" can get on people nowadays.
Tape recorders/players like the one shown recorded and played back voice at 1 7/8 inches per second (ips). I can't imagine why the machine featured played back much faster.
Should have tapped that pencil
Friday looks rather grubby in this episode.
I believe this one (divorced, 30 years).
Grilled before public defenders were available for interrogation proceedings.
The big phone call
What did they use a cell phone in the 1950s
0:23 good way to learn my way round california...😎
10:20 hai gbatemp
16:30😎
Question: why didn't this guy lawyer up ? I understand this may be before the Miranda Rights but still, this guy obviously knows about lawyers with the number of times he's threatened to sue these two.
👍👍
Another one bites the dust.
Dial 9.
😂
They bring in a tray of food and eat it in front of them
Joe and Ben Romero played a card game in a radio episode
Dial 9!
Another brilliant "interrogation" episode, this time with the great Vic Perrin.
Jack Webb directed these episodes with restrained suspense, like the interrogation of Kent McCord (th-cam.com/video/NRC_FbI2vRU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TimelessTVClassics)
But the Big Daddy of all the interrogation shows is "The Squeeze", with John Sebastian as George Fox (th-cam.com/video/h_Jz3LE84eo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NeilMartin).
22:19 sounds just like lydia
Priest was probably a Jesuit.
He most certainly was, Isaiah.
You have the right to remain silent.
Not in the '50s you don't.
@@Bigbadwhitecrackeryou had the right in the fifties too but they didn't have to tell you you had that right.
And then is now police officers could hold you all day and also lied to you. Folks should watch the video made by a law professor and a police Sergeant entitled "don't talk to the police" and make sure their kids see it too.
a chance to make a statement?
The takeaway is don't say anything .
BUSTED and DISGUSTED!
Maybe in the '50's People were dumb enough to talk like that to the Police. But in 2024, it just wouldn't go down like that.
Watch real life interrogations..people blab like crazy.
Watch him read the script....
That was the way Jack Webb wanted it. He didn't want his actors to "act" (unless it was somebody like Virginia Gregg or Burt Mustin) but to read off of scripts or cue cards like in a radio play. The closeups and tight camera angles covered that up, and only the occasional long-angle shot would be played "live" as such. That was his way of minimising the number of takes a scene would require and also kept tight control on the performances.
@@LordZontar And to keep the pace of the show going smoothly and quickly, I might add.
I thought the guy was Kevin Spaceys father or something
These guys violate all the things we know now. Never answer police questions without your attorney.
They edited out the rubber hose segment.
Not me
A Bone in your Crotch Socket a la Billiards Eye.
We need justice the way this one was done forget about Miranda rights look what we have now anarchy
Ah...short show ..lots of pre show filler
They ALL smoked, I wonder who died of cancer.
The criminal died of cancer in 1982 and Jack Webb died of heart disease at the age of 62. I don't know how things turned out for the other sergeant.
I wonder how many non smokers in LA died of 2nd hand tailpipe exhaust?
Which kind of cancer did the criminal die from? My doctor told me there are 200 varieties of cancer as well as 100's of varying carcinogens. Also, cardiac medicine in the 1950's and 1960's was inferior as compared to today's cardiac care. So, do not confuse me with the facts because my mind is made up?
Wow SOS Miranda rights. And this is what they put on TV. Bet in real live things were much worse.
Black eyes, cracked ribs, splintered knees, amongst other injuries.
And his lawyer is where?
The cops bugged his office?
This was legal?
Yes to all of the above.
@@oober2004 Maybe in your country comrade.
@@josephpetrino1741 most countries
In 1952 it was legal. There was no requirement to give a suspect Miranda warnings, and prior to 1955, California admitted illegally seized evidence as long as it was relevant. The Warren Court changed all that. Thus you do not see this procedure in the 1967-1970 episodes.
@@josephpetrino1741 Legal in our country in 1952. See my other comment.
Could they violate anymore of his constitutional rights or what?
His rights were not violated in this episode, dummy! Dragnet is a police procedural drama that shows how police detectives get the job done.
If they didn't read him his Miranda Rights , and the admission of guilt was done without the perp's lawyer, the case would get thrown out of court!
@@reynaldoflores4522 Today yes, but the law was vastly different in 1952. Until 1955, California admitted illegally seized evidence so lpng as it was relevant, and the US Supreme Court was okay with that until 1961. The requirement to read him his Miranda rights was not established until 1966. It was a different world back then. Given the changes made by the Warren Court, Dragnet 1967 had to be entirely different in terms of procedure.
so boring
Next time, don't fall asleep.
