- An episode from the rather obscure TV suspense anthology series, PANIC! (aka NO WARNING), which originally aired in 1957-58 on NBC.
The series plays somewhat like a hybrid of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS (ordinary people thrust into harrowing, life-or-death situations... either murder plots, bad luck or natural disasters) and DRAGNET (dry, methodical narration, with an emphasis on the story being "true" and attention to time and place).
The narrator is Westbrook Van Voorhis, known as the voice of the MARCH OF TIME radio show (1931-1945) and newsreel series (1935-1951), and was the original choice to host THE TWILIGHT ZONE, before series creator Rod Serling stepped in (a wise choice).
This episode, "Subway", stars Eduard Franz (seen in such films as THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD ('51), THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ('56), THE FOUR SKULLS OF JONATHAN DRAKE ('59) and THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST ('67), and a frequent TV guest star), Barbara Billingsley (Wally & Beaver's mom on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER and the jive-fluent airline passenger in AIRPLANE! ('80)), perennial movie/TV tough guys John Doucette and Frank Richards as the two thugs, and as The Law: Anthony Warde (who played lots of police detectives, as well as the villain "Killer Kane" in the 1939 movie serial version of BUCK ROGERS) and Mort Mills (best known as the highway cop who follows Janet Leigh in the first act of Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO ('60)).

I just love those 50s black and white tv shows and movies the crackle of the speakers the graininess of the film you know you're in for a good show/movie .
I saw my first color tv show when I was 17 years old.
Didn't realize watching the episode, however, Mrs. Mason was actually June Cleaver from Leave It to Beaver.
That voice is unmistakable!
Barbara Billingsley
Very early tv. Barbara Billingsly was a real beauty in 1951.
Shes really beautiful
I remember detective (Mort Mills) in many old westerns of the time, and the crook aka the police clerk (John Doucette) in westerns and the Superman tv series.
This episode really resonated with me, it shows man in all his fears and insecurities
.yet resilience
Α good man always knows his limitations
This was so good! I was so scared for him. Please post more if you have them!
I just posted another ("Reincarnated") yesterday, and more are eventually coming... although I only have a handful of them, unfortunately.
These were so much more interesting than many recent dramas.
When you see him entering the station, it is the Chambers St, station and the train entering is an R16 subway train with florescent lights and the second scene of an R9 subway train, and the 3rd is an BMT STANDARD subway train with 2 upper and lower windows on each door. I am a New Yorker.
good ol NY
Great information! 👍🏻
Did you see the killers?
The man knows his trains!

I enjoyed watching this blast from the past very very much. Thank you for posting,
Love the full makeup while in bed, eye shadow, fake eyelashes,......very 1950's.
They also had done hair.
Back then, theY had ROLLERS
And you had to have 2 beds apart from each other, so no double beds.
@@sirbum1918 the Flintstones was THE FIRST DOUBLE BED
Mr. Mason sure was hard on the beaver.
Great series, have any more episodes to upload? Thanks for posting.
I guess Ethel didn't have to put on fresh make up the next morning. Who sleeps in thick make up?
This is my first episode of "Panic".
PANIC! Subway: aired USA 26 March 1957.
Barbara Billingsley is the woman in this episode! Had to be right before "Leave It To Beaver" (also 1957)! Thank you for the upload. Been looking for this series a long, long time!!
She's even wearing a pearl necklace at breakfast. Same as in Beaver.
In an interview, Jerry Mathers said Bilingsley always wore a necklace to hide a birthmark.
Did I miss something? Closing scene: “Trust the police next time”… “I will!”
But wasn’t it the police clerk who was the killer hunting him?
Not only that, but the man would be as good as dead anyway, just like the dead witness he saw in the train. There would be no next time.
Yes, it was. But, as it turns out, the police suspected the police clerk all along -- and that's why they had the clerk under surveillance and were able to stop him when he returned to "finish the job."
I've been looking for years....is this the series that had an episode where a man and a woman (two strangers) get stuck in an elevator and the man climbs the elevator rope through the roof to get out,
Thank you 🙏 glad someone posts these episodes
“No my daddy don’t live in that
New York City no more”
That old actor is forty-two? Yeah, right.
June Cleaver wearing her Pearl neckless.Cool.
The hood on the left is John Doucette . He was in many films and tv shows.
Yep, he played both good guys and bad guys.
Why dident he use a Disguise when going out
Wow Barbara Billingsley June Cleaver
June Cleaver was married to another guy before Ward
At 14:40 when Mr. Mason goes to get a drink, there is a picture of something on the wall on the top left of the screen. See it there? Can anyone tell me what it is? I can’t figure it out. I don’t think it has anything to do with the plot, but what is it?
The Starship Enterprise
It’s there again at 1316
I don't remember this series at all. This was a suspenseful episode!
As an aside, the lead actor is playing a man who is supposed to be only 42 yrs old.
I don't know what happened but could not watch the show because the picture was the worst I've ever seen could hear it great but couldn't see nothing it was in the green double messed up picture you couldn't see anything that was going on I don't know what happened but it's a shame cuz I really wanted to watch this show I never seen you growing up
Can you see punctuation? I can't.
NYC 1970’s, 2020, 2021 and ……..
This was NYC waaaay before the '70s. Crime was always a way of life for us here.
Sure.
Next time « trust the police. ». That didn’t age well.
