Possibly the most distinctive police drama in television history, "Dragnet" brought the exhaustive legwork that goes into solving a crime directly to the smalI screen. Drawing on actual cases from the Los AngeIes PoIice 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 enthralIed. Making the jump from radio to television 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 film noir veteran Webb directing, starring in and producing the show, "Dragnet" would utiIize the Iook of those crime films that preceded it to produce a stark and gritty image of the city and its denizens.
Episode 1 - The Big Phone Call: Joe Friday and Ed Jacobs confront jeweler Ernest Garvey in connection with the robbery of a colIeague. Garvey's outrage at being questioned quickly loses its credibility as the detectives present a laundry list of damning evidence.
Episode 2 - The Big Cast: On the run from the police, a man wanted for robbery and assault shoots down Detective Frank Smith. With his partner in criticaI condition, Friday won't rest until the dangerous fugitive is in police custody.
Episode 3 - The Big False Make: Arrested for hoIding up a grocery store, locaI 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 wouId 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 invoIvement, the caIm and collected Henry Ross begins to slowly break down as Friday subjects him to a grueling interrogation. Future Academy Award winner and welI known heavy Lee Marvin pIays the roII of Henry Ross. |
