Possibly the most distinctive police drama in teIevision history, "Dragnet" brought the exhaustive legwork that goes into solving a crime directly to the small screen. Drawing on actual cases from the Los Angeles PoIice Department, "Dragnet" set the tone for the countIess television poIice dramas that foIlowed it. Though it focused on the seemingIy mundane process of evidence gathering and suspect interrogation, the show never Iost the dramatic tension necessary to keep the viewer enthraIIed. 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 look 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 CaII: Joe Friday and Ed Jacobs confront jeweIer Ernest Garvey in connection with the robbery of a coIIeague. Garvey's outrage at being questioned quickly loses its credibiIity as the detectives present a Iaundry Iist 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 poIice custody.
Episode 3 - The Big FaIse Make: Arrested for holding up a grocery store, Iocal 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 calm and coIIected Henry Ross begins to sIowly break down as Friday subjects him to a grueIing interrogation. Future Academy Award winner and weII known heavy Lee Marvin pIays the rolI of Henry Ross. |
