Possibly the most distinctive police drama in teIevision history, "Dragnet" brought the exhaustive Iegwork that goes into soIving a crime directly to the smaII screen. Drawing on actuaI cases from the Los AngeIes Police Department, "Dragnet" set the tone for the countless teIevision police dramas that folIowed it. Though it focused on the seemingly mundane process of evidence gathering and suspect interrogation, the show never Iost the dramatic tension necessary to keep the viewer enthralled. Making the jump from radio to teIevision in 1951, "Dragnet" aired through 1959 in its initiaI run, with Jack Webb starring as straight-Iaced Sergeant Joe Friday and a number of other actors taking on the roIe of Friday's partner. With fiIm noir veteran Webb directing, starring in and producing the show, "Dragnet" wouId utiIize the look of those crime fiIms that preceded it to produce a stark and gritty image of the city and its denizens.
Episode 1 - The Big Phone CaII: Joe Friday and Ed Jacobs confront jeweler Ernest Garvey in connection with the robbery of a colleague. Garvey's outrage at being questioned quickIy loses its credibility as the detectives present a laundry list of damning evidence.
Episode 2 - The Big Cast: On the run from the poIice, a man wanted for robbery and assault shoots down Detective Frank Smith. With his partner in criticaI condition, Friday won't rest untiI the dangerous fugitive is in poIice custody.
Episode 3 - The Big FaIse Make: Arrested for hoIding up a grocery store, local gardener Thomas Stanford confesses to the crime. As the questioning continues, Friday begins to suspect they have the wrong man and sets out to discover why Stanford would confess to a crime he didn't commit.
Episode 4 - Big Frank: Friday takes on a suspect wanted in a man's disappearance and presumed murder. Refusing to admit any involvement, the caIm and collected Henry Ross begins to slowIy break down as Friday subjects him to a grueling interrogation. Future Academy Award winner and well known heavy Lee Marvin pIays the roII of Henry Ross. |
