      Yes. You were born in 1955, a newborn with ZERO MEMORY OF THE 1950S. 0 YEARS OLD, doing nothing except in a crib and a house wearing BABY'S CLOTHING. YOU WERE NOT BORN IN THE GREATEST GENERATION 1900 TO 1924 AND DON'T REMEMBER A SINGLE THING ABOUT THE 1950S. You ONLY remember 1962 to 1980s because you WERE 7 years old NOT EVEN WEARING ADULT OR TEENAGE CLOTHING, ONLY A KIDDIE DOING CHILDISH THINGS NOT EVEN A FEDORA. HAHAHAHA.

    Jack Webb has the perfect delivery of dialog, quick, pertinent, & with a staccato delivery giving the effect of a semi automatic.

    • @ChrisMaxfieldActs
      @ChrisMaxfieldActs Рік тому +4

      Webb essentially invented the teleprompter with a mechanical dialogue cue system, and he insisted that everyone just read their dialogue with as little emotion or "acting" as possible. He also loved to reuse the same actors, the ones who understood the rhythms of his dialogue, for new characters, over and over. If you acted on DRAGNET, it was one take, and you read it right off the prompter!

    This was filmed before I was born, and I was accustomed to seeing the more elaborate, color sets in the mid- to late-1960s Dragnet episodes. This B&W episode with minimal sets is really intriguing due to the intense acting and some pretty fast-moving dialogue. Really fine drama. Thanks for posting.

    2. His production company was called Mark VII Productions because seven was his lucky number.
    3. His badge number was 714 for the same reason.
    4. The LAPD retired badge number 714 in Webb's honor and memory shortly after his death.

      The series was made to give the LAPD a humane image. They were bigger thugs than the crooks in the early part of the last century. In the 20's, the police commissioner told his men they'd be fired if they brought a felony suspect in alive. Not kidding. The movie with Angelina Jolie called "The Changeling" showed some of this. They forced a woman who's kid went missing to take a kid she never saw before, and when she griped, they had her thrown in a mental institution. Her real son was murdered by a serial killing homosexual pedophile. They changed the name of the town later when they started to build homes on the farm land where the killings occurred. I think it's called Loma Vista now, something like that.

      Just another clue that Dragnet is not a "this story is true" - it's purely the result of the scriptwriter's tired imagination while working on a deadline of one episode a week. Along with the ham acting and the business with the matches to imply he's nervous. In reality if you go to a police station to tell them something, you don't get past the front desk until you have been thoroughly grilled by some pissed off uniform sergeant who has been given an easy job while he gets over a work injury, and thinks because you walked in you must be guilty of something. Bu the time you get past him, if you ever do, you are pretty pissed off too.

      Jack Webb had a running cast of the "Dragnet Mafia". Many of them appeared in Dragnet from the beginning, sometimes in Highway Patrol which Webb was not involved in, and again Dragnet 1967-1970. Most went on to appear regularly in Adam-12 and even Emergency!. Virginia Gregg was the winner appearing in more Mk7 Productions than anyone else. Webb was a genius as a Producer.

      "The Grenade" stared off with Gerald Paulson pouring acid on another kid at the movies, getting into a fight with his step father running away with a live grenade showing up at the record party. Friday slowly inched towards the extension cord, kicking the plug out with his shoe stopping the record player. Then he and Gannon rush Gerald.

    Thanks for uploading. I'm a bit surprised that in this case (which is based on a real case), the 2 perpetrators only got one to 25 years for kidnapping. What about assault? Even assault with intent to commit great bodily harm? They beat the woman, shaved her head and dragged her in hot tar. That's a second or third degree burn. And if it was over a large percentage of her body, she could have developed infection or even died.
