Dragnet - Season 5 - Episode 34 - The Big Deal 

Those are actors, remember the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

I love how he put out her cigarette, but did Not pick it up

I suspect that Friday is gay but this is the 1950s so he can't come out.

Non filtered ciggs. At least they dissolved eventually.

He played in at least one of the Highway Patrol episodes starring Broderick Crawford.

Character actors; something you never see today.

And I who thought that "serious" music actually was silly martial music... My oh my, I still have to learn a lot, don't I....

You mean the overly dramatic music.

⁠​⁠@@HansDelbruck53nope, the music that drives home the point!

@@claypartridge7553One should not drink and drive.

I just love your restaurants and hotels!

Might have been borrowed from the 1946 Film Noir classic "The Big Sleep".

Big Deal!

You forgot the Big Comment ;) !

It’s ETC not ect! Jesus Christ! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ How many people can’t get the Fuckin’ thing right?! E-T-C usually written etc Like the word ‘etcetera’ READ the first 3 letters out loud!! You’ve ruined my day!!

@Fred Jamison: ... and you’re too dense to recognize sarcasm. Ha Ha

Umm love my iPad.

@@Wolfietherrat Claudette is a pretty name. Haven't heard that name in a while.

Technologically yes, morally no.

How about lighting up a Fatima. (That might be before your time, maybe not).

Fatima ...the long cigarette

@@ralphcrisp2112 wow . You guys are old. Real old

All of those suspects were stupid. They never should have allowed themselves to be questioned without an attorney present. In particular, The printer never should have said a word until he got a promise of immunity. All in return for busting the other three rascals.

I always want to say that when Friday or Ben lite up or some crookor women.

Yeah and her haircut must have been from the Twilight Zone.

Groucho's daughter

Thanks, I KNEW it was not just what I saw. We're not mean we just noticed things like Joan Crawford on steroids.

@@robbinmeissner435 No, she took baths in Pepsi Cola

Look like a couple of black caterpillars.

They were reading from cue cards.

Laura ..."Prison Industries"...

He fell in love with the job. It was his life.

...and I was born.

I was born that year, and your dad was in high school. That's Incredible

A tough dame at that.

“The Prescott woman”, according to Sgt. Joe Friday.

Highway Patrol has the best of that!

It surely does - each “Highway Patrol” episode is a cavalcade of late-model automobiles.

Those eyebrows were a fright weren't they?

You mean let in by capital police ?

@@benniebarrow348 Exactly! Ushered in they were, all part of their plan.

@@benniebarrow348STOP LYING!!!!!!!!!!

@@Mikael5732STOP LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@thegreatselkie6009 it’s on tape you idiot …….get off the CNN tit and do your on thinking and research.

The good old days before earthquake codes.Dingbat buildings all over LA.

@@roberrplatt4214 Whatever.

Hate the Ads

Ever heard of Adblock ? Just add it to your computer, and you can enjoy the programs without one ad. I've used it for 5-6 years, it works out very fine. RU-vid of course doesn't like it, as this means less income from ads, if millions of people would install it. The only thing with Adblock is, sometimes other websites from newspapers etc can't be entered, because they too use ads. But RU-vid without ads really is heaven ! I'd be ready to pay a small fee every month, if it would be free of stupid ads. Adblock is for free.

I watched the whole thing and only got one ad.

I pay for RU-vid premium. No ads. Worth it, especially with music.

RU-vid premium is worth the price. No free lunch!

You can help by moving away.

In the '50s, they didn't read them their rights until the SCOTUS rulings in the '60s.

The right to an attorney during questioning didn't exist until 1966.

even better today, imo

The Joan Crawford look!

Why do you people shoot your mouths off about this stuff? Just enjoy the show!

@WandaJames - guess that is supposed to be a slap at smokers. Bear in mind that in WWII, post-WWII America, it was considered an "insult" to NOT offer a person a cup of coffee --- and a cigarette!

Especially chicks.

I get what you were saying. The polite thing would have been to ask before she lit up. The other way is just plain rude.

If you politely reply that you would rather they didn't, they have a fit! 😤🚬

?????????????

@@johna.4334 CHANGED A WORD BUT THE LOSER WAS THE MAN WHO BOUGHT WHAT LOOKED LIKE A LEGITIMATE TITLE! ONLY A EXPERT WOULD NOTICE A PHONY SEAL! HE DOESN'T GET HIS MONEY FROM THE STATE! THE BUYER WHO WENT AWAY WILL NEVER PAY IT OFF! AS LONG AS THEY SEND SOMETHING THE COURTS MADE THE DEAL! I'VE SEEN CHECKS AS LITTLE AS 3 ON A 10 THOUSAND DEBT

Bulls***. You suck.
