If you look carefully, at 2:23 there's a quick view of the smoggy Los Angeles skyline as it appeared in the mid-50s. This is one of the enjoyable aspects of this show ---- it's use of authentic locations with a little or no "dress up" for the cameras, even showing actual businesses as a backdrop. Many modern-era movies and TV shows try to capture the sights and sounds of the 1950s, but Highway Patrol is the real deal. These images do not pander to nostalgia --- they show how things actually looked in those days ----- the cars, the roads, the businesses and homes, the way people looked, dressed and spoke. This stuff can't be faked. Oh, and look closely at those grand old cars used in the show ----- note that there's no attempt to dub in motor sounds. In HP, you can hear the gears shifting, the suspensions creaking, and the motors revving. These authentic sounds and images are what makes this show enjoyable, as well as the corny story lines that served as a vehicle for Broderick Crawford's tough guy character.
I looked at the "street view" on Google Earth, and found this location at the corner of Figueroa Terrace and Beaudry Street in North Los Angeles. It's fascinating to compare the scene in Highway Patrol to its modern appearance. There are only a scant few features from that time that remain today, aside from a few architectural details that have survived on the homes shown in the image. In the 1958 view, Los Angeles had virtually no skyline and the only really tall building was City Hall. This Highway Patrol episode was filmed just a few years before the huge building boom that transformed LA from a modest-size city to the megalopolis of today.
There is a wealth of B&W TV shows that have locations where modern versions could be used for very interesting comparisons...but not much on U2b to speak of. The few attempts I've seen are not very convincing...they could be any location. The smog actually gives more dimension to the scenes.
It is amazing the number of criminals they kill, and how little they seem to care about a dead bad guy. And those snubby .38 revolvers can't hit a barn door at 3 yards, but in this series they kill crims at 50 yards! Regards

Beaudry St. @10:02, vehicle appears to be driving south along the old Chavez Ravine Rd./Lilac Ter. Street sign, although blurred, should read Paducah St. This area is now the intersection of Vin Scully Ave. & Stadium Way. @12:27, 1041 Alpine St., car then turns onto N. Beaudry St. @19:18, & ending scenes appear to be same alley as @3:29, his old house is visible at end of Alley on the left as they walk towards Alpine St. @19:47, Motel could have been at the corner of Sunset Blvd & Laveta Ter., some background hilltop buildings are a match. Most of scene would be looking east down Sunset Blvd (also @ 18:17). @21:27, Figueroa Ter. again.
Another cracking episode. Dan Matthews bunging the cash strapped couple a few bucks/quid to get by at the end was a nice touch. The 1950s were a great time for schoolboy me. This show was a "must see" and drop everything as soon as that unmistakeable strident musical intro sounded. Precisely what it was designed to do.
I mute the intro sound because I've heard it one time too many and I'm only half way through the episodes. Drives me nuts. I suppose back then it was like "calling all little boys" to the television to watch Matthews solve another case.
“Another cracking episode”?! It was absolute shite. Bizarre in the extreme and totally detached from reality. I don’t mind anachronisms and other devices in order to push the story along, but this was incoherent rubbish.
Gritty real L.A. neighborhood locations unadorned just as it was on any given day in the mid 50s. Great time capsule. I was in elementary school during this period and those areas look nothing like that now. In some scenes in some of the episodes, you can still see the wash hanging out to dry behind some of the houses. Most people did not have home dryers still back then, and most people did not have central air either. You tried to beat the heat with a fan and lots of homemade lemonade and iced tea. And the cars! We had a black '46 Dodge until 1953 when my dad bought a new Ford Customliner. My dad was OK with driving a car for a few years, but his brother just had to have a brand new Desoto every year. We lived in a white frame Colonial style house with a huge front open porch with big white columns. Black cinder drive with garage separate from the house. The house still exists, but got moved to a different location. Absolutely love Highway Patrol and watched it regularly when it was a current running show from 1955 thru 1959. Love those lazy hazy crazy days of summer back then! Since then America has been allowed to slowly go to the dogs....We have lost out culture and identity to traitors, social engineers, and internationalists.
He was living a lie, just a dunk useless fool they nick named 502 because he was busted drinking and driving so many times. He was just a hypocrite in real life and wouldn't care if he ran your whole family over and killed them.
@@AzarroFineArts Not at all! When people are in need I have seen food delivered, and jobs lined up. Long before I did my 36.5 years a local held up a store, He was trying to feed his 4 kids. The local PD swung into full response and took care of his family with food and helped him get a job. He lived 4 houses from me. Fast forward 25 years and the kid across the street ended up the Police Chief. Funny sometimes how good folks take care of good folks and other get what their hand calls for.
“I’ve been in spots before but I wouldn’t give this one to a leopard.” Thanks Chief Dan; I’ll use that one on my next case. Don’t you love those old expressions? Love old series. 😎👍🏻
Loved it when one of the bad guys said" this is a small town, his wife should be easy to find" and having the LA city skyline appear a number of times.
@@flashstudiosguy Yeah they called him Five-O-two because he was such a useless drunk that couldn't even take a piss without someone holding him upright, so sad how they put that clown up there and people thought ol danny boi was such a good guy when he was a outright useless moron, only good for acting, which is synonymous with LIAR lol, wow what a man and such achievements. Plp are so screwed up,.
The funny thing about all these episodes is that the Highway Patrol seems to be the only police force in California. None of the county or city police forces ever get involved. Dan Matthews solves every kind a crime there is.
Hi gals and guys. We old foggies got what it takes. Great program. Love it. When had regular tv stayed up til 4am to watch this of course I'm retired 😊❤
For those who might be interested, does the officer, Ken, look familiar?...for Tv buffs he should....that's William Boyett, who played MAC on another long running police program, ADAM-12
And yet he was going to shoot the fleeing suspect in the back as he was escaping. If he still had him in his sights he most certainly could have run him down. A slight plot problem here.
Thank God I’ve never been addicted to alcohol, 🚬 or drugs, but I am addicted to B/W movies from the 1940-1950s (especially film noir genre) and the HP TV series. Thanks for the upload!
The Cars. Massively soft suspension and long travel springs and dampers were the "must haves" in those big Yankee V8s back in those fabulous 1950s. Loved them. We have enthusiasts for them here in the UK and several own Patrol Cars just like the "Bluesmobile" in that great film "The Blues Brothers".Handling and more positive steering and braking took a long time to emerge. For my sins today, my UK Birmingham Built MG ZT260 Sedan / Saloon, has a 289 Mustang V8 under the bonnet/hood. It handles as all MGs should and does. Very well indeed. Such is progress. About 900 examples left the Birmingham factory back in the early 2000s. Love the noise of those big Yankee V8s like mine make when they come on song. You sometimes hear that distinctive V8 noise they make when they give the engines the beans in these Highway Patrol TV shows. Nowhere near NASCAR levels, those would be illegal but very impressive all the same.
2:23 ... 938 N Beuadry Ave, LA. Still there in 2024. View from 2009 shows neighboring houses demolished and new ones under construction on other lots and at the intersection with Figueroa Tce.
I've never seen a cop hand money to anyone in need in my life, I survived an attempted murder, now am on disability for life, the "victim witness fund" said I didn't qualify for their assistance, if I don't, who does? Where is this money going? It certainly isn't going to victims of crimes

There's Medicaid and Obamacare. You can also reach out to your friends, family, or neighbors. There are non profits as well. CA even offers free health services to illegals. It's also the mom and dad's obligation to have a plan for the baby they are bringing into the world.
E.D. Bowen i thought of that.. maybe the maid ? lol not...i love the bsckground noises and im thinking it film on location not a studio very basic show i like he did the mom a solid w some cash, compassion . right or wrong i liked it....
Rogers story made no sense at all, at least it almost did at the end, why admit to something he hadn’t done, keeping the window job quite and admitting he was part of the same gang?.
I really liked this episode, but that guy was a stooge for making a false confession. Moe, Larry, and Curly of "Three Stooges" fame would have been proud of him.
There are a few, but they don't make headlines. People are more often chastised for what they did wrong, rather than praised for those things they did right !
ZIV the production company for this show was known for fast production and little regard for goofs. In one scene Dan and the Sargent are talking standing by their car and two little kids are running in the background across the street. No reshooting by the director.
It's interesting to see so much of the regular 50's LA neighborhood and not commercial districts. Can anyone tell me what part of LA this epi was filmed in ?
@@skydiverclassc2031 Yes. There were plenty of streets like this just west of downtown through the 1970s. A number of the Victorian homes were preserved and moved. Where are the Victorian homes in Los Angeles? A high concentration of Victorian-era homes still survive along Carroll Street in Angelino Heights. Architecture and history lovers can take a walking tour (from the Los Angeles Conservancy) among the well-preserved houses.
@@rollinsdet8229 Ah ha! That sounds like a possibility. Or maybe "How 'bout a twenty til next payday?" In any case, if your line wasn't what he said, it should've been - cool line! thanks
As others here have said, the intersection of Figueora Terrace & Beaudry Ave is totally different. You can just barely see the tower on the left, and there are now many high rises in downtown L.A. Also, all the cute bungalos that you see on Beautdry as it meets Figueora are gone. It's a good thing that shows like this preserve them.
When Rogers is running away from one of the two crooks right at the end, he shoots at him from no more than twenty feet away and yet completely misses him. I guess he must have been a pretty bad shot! Also, for a couple that is so broke that they don't have enough money to feed their baby and yet they have a pretty nice place to live that today would be quite expensive to rent is admittedly quite puzzling.
In the late 50s a decent house would be less than a hundred dollars a month. The house I grew up in cost my dad $80 a month. I remember that when years later the landlady raised the rent to $90 a month how upset he got! That same old Craftsman home probably rents for over 2K a month in 2023.
This episode must have been filmed during one of BC's Driver's License suspensions. Notice he does NOT drive at all in this segment, it is shot on Public streets. Also it is shot in a high crime part of town too, notice the 6 foot chain link fences in the backyards and the "deferred Maintenance" of the neighborhood. BB
***** So?? Many scenes are shot out of sequence, sometimes MONTHS apart. Even if not, it is still true this problem plagued the Production of the Series. You know, i LIKED the guy as an Actor, I like watching the show, but this is just an interesting Historical Fact about the Man and the show. They filmed a LOT of PRIVATE roads because of this. Notice you see a lot of action on DIRT ROADS. These DIRT roads are very often PRIVATE no driver's License required. I have NEVER seen the Texas Highway Patrol on dirt roads in my life. It makes no difference where and where NOT he is seen driving, the guy for YEARS had problems with his Driver's License over DWI. And at the same time as he was giving those "safe driving tips". Kind of amusing to me. Did you know after the series was finally cancelled or not "renewed" he and his drinking Buddy Lon Chaney Jr. would get liquored up and go out to the studios and occasionally get in to harassing people on the property. They finally had to "sic" the Security People on them. As the Producer said, "Brod could be a handful". BB
Peter Hemming Yeah maybe. Here where I live there is a tremendous amount of "location shooting". In fact the FIRST movie or TV show shot in this area was "Bonnie and Clyde" with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. That was in the Fall of 1966, it was released in 1967, I was a Freshman in High School. But the PUBLIC ROADS they have to "lease them" from the municipality. Depending on which one THAT can be EXPENSIVE. So, they can SAVE a bundle anytime they can shoot on a private road. These episodes had to be shot on a budget of $25,000 or LESS, preferably LESS. So, big demand for Private road by ZIV productions. BB

Yes, they even drove down 'Beaudry St' which runs parallel to the 'Harbor Fwy,' from 'Sunset' to '6th. St.'
@49jubilee Huh? You have no idea.
Never tire of them! Fun to see same actors playing various types of characters!

great quality episode,loved the location shots
Good ole Dan. So kind at the end. 🙋♂️👏🇬🇧
I like watching this series to admire those beautiful classic women.
Oh ,when times were so much simpler..The cops kicked ass and the bad guys got there's
One of my least liked episodes. No child should ever be sick or crippled due to inability to pay. The worst thing about the USA.
It was just a show. They never even had a baby.
There's Medicaid and Obamacare. You can also reach out to your friends, family, or neighbors. There are non profits as well. CA even offers free health services to illegals. It's also the mom and dad's obligation to have a plan for the baby they are bringing into the world.

Thanks Foxeema!
Thanks for the show! I grew up watching this in the late '50s. Dan's hands on approach, the "fast" patrol cars,and that music!!
California's Governor Gavin Newsome would have let all these criminals go
Bad guy robs and shoots -kills the guard, but pays for the daily news paper.
After pulling a job, last thing you want is to be picked up by a Cop for shoplifting a newspaper
“I’ve been in spots before but I wouldn’t give this one to an ink well.”
Leave your blood at the RED CROSS or YOUR COMMUNITY BLOOD BANK, NOT on the HIGHWAY!
So, the mother just walked out of the house and left the infant all by itself?
well Highway Patrol provided a baby sitter...lol
When Dan and the HP picked the husband the first time they also called a doctor, so maybe the baby was at the hospital ...?
LAPD must have been short handed in the 50's.
Soooo...who is watching the very sick baby while Mama is chasing el loser?
E.D. Bowen i thought of that.. maybe the maid ? lol not...i love the bsckground noises and im thinking it film on location not a studio
very basic show
i like he did the mom a solid w some cash, compassion .
right or wrong i liked it....
Season 4, Episode 11
False Confession (15 Dec. 1958)
Thanks
"I've been in spots before but I wouldn't give this one to a leopard."
just great script
Rogers story made no sense at all, at least it almost did at the end, why admit to something he hadn’t done, keeping the window job quite and admitting he was part of the same gang?.
Why is Matthews wearing what look like slippers/house shoes?
Did anyone else notice the front steps of the house bending a little when Dan was going down them? LOL....
23.05. ' I've been in spots before but I wouldn't give this one to a leopord '.
I really liked this episode, but that guy was a stooge for making a false confession. Moe, Larry, and Curly of "Three Stooges" fame would have been proud of him.
I thought so too. Instead of making a false confession, he should have told the cops everything he knew.
@@NotaVampyre111 And leave the murder weapon alone! He was lucky Dan can analyse a crime scene at a glance and deduce what went down perfectly!
That clipper ship picture makes the rounds in these low budget tv sets from the 1950s.
Before I watch this episode, is there a road block used at any time? 🚧
Broderick is a God! I wish there were real cops like this!
There are a few, but they don't make headlines. People are more often chastised for what they did wrong, rather than praised for those things they did right !
Not in real life he wasn’t.
Sorry, there is only one God who made Heaven and Earth.
Confession? Why doesn't the iidiot give the description of the killers who shot the guard and collect tye reward?
Matthews doesn't sound happy about the idea of talking to reporters.
great performance. matthews is a fine example of a real policeman.
Great episode !
A simpler time
Yes I was asking about the car seen at the beginning of every episode. Thanks.
1954 Lincoln Capri
Enjoyed this show
Nice stunt by Jim Rogers aka Douglas Henderson who was a regular on the Wild, Wild West: 15:11 The poor chap committed suicide in 1978.
He was Frank Sinatra's military boss in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIATE.
ZIV the production company for this show was known for fast production and little regard for goofs. In one scene Dan and the Sargent are talking standing by their car and two little kids are running in the background across the street. No reshooting by the director.
Looked natural, I suppose
I wonder if they knew they were on a TV show?
It's a nice gesture that Dan gave some money to help them out at the end. Now these days, there is no arresting officer will give anyone any money.
Actually, sometimes they do give to those in need. I've seen it reported in the papers from time to time. Officers are human beings too, you know.
As the head of the Highway Patrol, Matthews is in a slightly higher pay grade. Slightly.
It's interesting to see so much of the regular 50's LA neighborhood and not commercial districts.
Can anyone tell me what part of LA this epi was filmed in ?
Will those steep hills it sure looks like San Francisco.
2:42 N. Beaudry at Figueroa Terrace, over by Dodger Stadium. It's been redeveloped since then.
I think a lot of these episodes used Chavez Ravine before the Dodgers came to town.
@@skydiverclassc2031 Yes. There were plenty of streets like this just west of downtown through the 1970s. A number of the Victorian homes were preserved and moved. Where are the Victorian homes in Los Angeles?
A high concentration of Victorian-era homes still survive along Carroll Street in Angelino Heights. Architecture and history lovers can take a walking tour (from the Los Angeles Conservancy) among the well-preserved houses.
At 3:48 when the guy walked through the door he should have said "Lucy, I'm home!"
Boy, today big Dan couldn't run after crooks like that. He would step in so much human waste he have cow pies clear up to his knees!
Special cameo appearance by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. 22:30
Check out that Dodge Coronet an that Plymouth Fury. With those Big Ass Fins on the back. Wow! When bumpers actually worked on a Car.
There was no Fury in this episode.
No really, old cars were not as safe as new ones.
Many attempts, but I still can't make out Matthew's final remark - even the auto-captioning didn't pick anything up. Anyone catch it?
@@rollinsdet8229 Ah ha! That sounds like a possibility. Or maybe "How 'bout a twenty til next payday?" In any case, if your line wasn't what he said, it should've been - cool line! thanks
I couldn't catch it, either.
I don’t get how he would be on for the insurance reward if he was associated with the crime. Seems typically dopey American nonsense.
"Look, I've been in spots before, but I wouldn't give this one to a leopard." Another Broderick Crawford quote at 23:05.
Classic!!
DAN GIVES HER A 20 “ this Ohta hold you over for a while”. Lol. About a nanosecond these days
Husband witnessed everything uh he could have collected reward himself. Silly. But I love these shows
He may have seen it, but he didn't know who the two men were or where to find them.
I just posted the same thing. He saw everything.
Look; I've been in spots before, but I wouldn't give this one to a leopard."
What does Dan Mathews say at 5:47 ?
"Amend the bulletin to include a wounded man"
James J Thanks -- sounded like "I'm into Booda coooda wooda man" to me. He talks fast, sometimes!
I believe he said, "Please text me the information, old chap. Sargeant Wilson Leroy Smith II are going for a spot of tea." Hope that clears thing up.

As others here have said, the intersection of Figueora Terrace & Beaudry Ave is totally different. You can just barely see the tower on the left, and there are now many high rises in downtown L.A. Also, all the cute bungalos that you see on Beautdry as it meets Figueora are gone. It's a good thing that shows like this preserve them.
Dan was a true American...
When Rogers is running away from one of the two crooks right at the end, he shoots at him from no more than twenty feet away and yet completely misses him. I guess he must have been a pretty bad shot! Also, for a couple that is so broke that they don't have enough money to feed their baby and yet they have a pretty nice place to live that today would be quite expensive to rent is admittedly quite puzzling.
In the late 50s a decent house would be less than a hundred dollars a month. The house I grew up in cost my dad $80 a month. I remember that when years later the landlady raised the rent to $90 a month how upset he got! That same old Craftsman home probably rents for over 2K a month in 2023.
@@tralfazy Yes, rent was a lot cheaper back then that's for sure, and that couple may have already behind in their monthly rent.
Does anyone know what kind of car that is in the beginning of every episode ?
'55 Oldsmobile.
I think he's talking about the 1954 Mercury...the car that the camera follows down the road.
The ragtop is a Lincoln about 1955.
1954 Lincoln Capri convertible
Crawfords an old sofy when it comes to kids even if they didn't show the baby.
Dan looks like he is wearing loafers in this episode at 9.12 and the stairs appear to wobble too!
He hurt his ankle from what I read.
This episode must have been filmed during one of BC's Driver's License suspensions. Notice he does NOT drive at all in this segment, it is shot on Public streets. Also it is shot in a high crime part of town too, notice the 6 foot chain link fences in the backyards and the "deferred Maintenance" of the neighborhood. BB
Bob Burnitt He's behind the wheel at 13:13.

So?? Many scenes are shot out of sequence, sometimes MONTHS apart. Even if not, it is still true this problem plagued the Production of the Series. You know, i LIKED the guy as an Actor, I like watching the show, but this is just an interesting Historical Fact about the Man and the show. They filmed a LOT of PRIVATE roads because of this. Notice you see a lot of action on DIRT ROADS. These DIRT roads are very often PRIVATE no driver's License required. I have NEVER seen the Texas Highway Patrol on dirt roads in my life.
It makes no difference where and where NOT he is seen driving, the guy for YEARS had problems with his Driver's License over DWI. And at the same time as he was giving those "safe driving tips". Kind of amusing to me. Did you know after the series was finally cancelled or not "renewed" he and his drinking Buddy Lon Chaney Jr. would get liquored up and go out to the studios and occasionally get in to harassing people on the property. They finally had to "sic" the Security People on them. As the Producer said, "Brod could be a handful". BB
+Barney Fife noooo if you watch carefully, he actually enters the car on the PASSENGER SIDE....someone else was driving
+Bob Burnitt That was probably a good part of town back then.
Peter Hemming Yeah maybe. Here where I live there is a tremendous amount of "location shooting". In fact the FIRST movie or TV show shot in this area was "Bonnie and Clyde" with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. That was in the Fall of 1966, it was released in 1967, I was a Freshman in High School. But the PUBLIC ROADS they have to "lease them" from the municipality. Depending on which one THAT can be EXPENSIVE. So, they can SAVE a bundle anytime they can shoot on a private road. These episodes had to be shot on a budget of $25,000 or LESS, preferably LESS. So, big demand for Private road by ZIV productions. BB
At about 9:10 descending the outside steps, they appear wobbling under Crawford's weight.
I still remember all the baloney over those huge tail fins on the 1957 Plymouths and other cars of the time.
Kids in school called it the ''fin mobile'.
@ 5:47 "Amend the bulletin to include a wounded man."
"By tomorrow you'll have the money" ... yep, rewards are paid out instantly. Sure.
Wow.. Dan gives the woman 20 bucks back in 1958 my old man was making about 15 dollars a day with the railroad..
Back then, money was backed by gold and went a lot farther.
You would have to use a pickup to haul $20 worth of groceries back then.
We'll sneak behind the house. I like the show
Must a been a special HP fund.
…must a been???
Great Show😄 Thank you For Sharing 😄
