    1:47 So cute! I wonder if that wasn't in the script. When Frank said, "What's that?" he meant, "What do you want us to tell you?" but the actress heard it as, "What did you say?" so she repeated herself.

    Yes - the stories are good, and the fedora hats are great! As a kid we watched the later Dragnet, in colt, and I always liked that too. Thanks for putting on you tube!

    Many years ago, when I was a teenager, I heard of a similar story that had occurred in the Bronx (New York City). A woman was sitting on the front porch with friends down the street from where she lived. I think the street had row houses. She noticed a moving van pull up, down the road, and made a couple of casual observations like, "that looks like my sofa," etc., but she didn't pay too much attention. When she went back home, they could hear her screams down the block. She hadn't realized that it was her house that the "movers" were emptying. I guess it was hard to tell at a distance.
    It seems that sometimes the movers weren't innocent, hired by people they thought were the homeowners. Instead, they were thieves posing as movers. That way, passersby wouldn't look twice if they saw them hauling heavy furniture. I think that was the case here.

    Those were the prosperous 50's. People going on vacations, letting the milk spoil, paper build up, who cares? But sadly it seems neighbors were breaking down in relationship it seemed. LA was growing!

    When I was a kid, the contractor built our subdivision one street at a time. One day a crane came and put a huge A/C heat pump unit on the roof of each house. A few days later my dad and I were driving to the store and noticed (speculating why) another crane and flat bed truck were driving up the street taking each unit down. We thought the wrong model was installed but a few days later there was a newspaper story about the The Big Cool Air Caper. (Note what I did there.)

    The little girl was Beverly Washburn, later as co-star with Jill Banner, Lon Chaney, Jr. and Carol Ohmart of "SPIDER BABY or The Maddest Story Ever Told' fame. Both Beverly and Jill Banner appeared on Dragnet on one time or another.

    It's funny how the character of John Snyder (the grandad) is less remembered and known then the actress that portrayed his granddaughter Ruthie she is more remembered than the man who played her grandfather who was in silent films when he chose for whatever reason to retire he came out of retirement in around the 1950s mostly television because there were at least some rolls for him mostly bit rolls but he is really fun to watch here and it's just sad that he would die 10 years later roughly around 1965 as I recall, nobody would remember you from the era of the silent films unless you were a big star and he was not a big star, Jack Webb had a habit of picking the best actors in the business even if they were not the best well-known actors or the big stars of the time and the irony is that some of the people that he picked were unknown and if they were known then they would eventually become future stars but it's interesting he always picked the best actors for his roles, Victor (Vic) Rodman was one of those and it's wonderful to watch excellent actors who never got any accolades or awards for their work still doing the work that they were really good at.

    Why would a milkman keep delivering milk with bottles piling up on the porch. I always thought the milk would e delivered to some kind of a box that would slow down the warming up of the milk. Plot development?
