Thank you for uploading all of these episodes of WIllie Dante with Dick Powell. I just love watching him act - what a professional. And it's great to see all of the other great actors that were in these episodes. I really enjoy this era (1950s) of film.
Dick Powell is a smooth .operator. his tv show was gold. The policedetective is excellent recurring character among others. RIP 1904-1963 the beloved actor dick powell.
@@NickvonZ Ha! On CBS Radio Mystery Theater, an episode with Ross Martin, called The 36th Man, his character said "My mother said your face is not your fortune".
There are more Dick Powell 4* Play House 50ties tv episodes available on You Tube. They were sponsored by "Singer". Subscribe to Classic TV. You have to scroll through a lot of 50ties tv series to get to the Play House episodes. You may wish to tab them or put on your save watch list once you find what you like.
Dante's Inferno -- I can't thank you enough for these episodes, all of which I first saw when I was a kid in New York City, but I don't remember which of the networks carried it in the early '50's (well it might have been ABC, Channel 7 in NYC). In later years I owned a Jag XK 120M coupe like the one featured with the eponymous Dante driving it in these episodes.
Great series! After the first installment was shown here a couple weeks ago, I tracked down the others. This series was tight, well paced and very entertaining. Definitely worth a second viewing.
🍕🍕🍕🍿🧈🧂🥤Thank you sir , I have watched 2 of these . I will be watching this 2 hour video this evening and I know I will enjoy it . Happy weekend . Always nice to see you and hear your introduction . 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕👍❤
"...an astonishing 91 contracted cancer..." - ya think!? 130 miles from Nevada's nuclear testing area, with wind direction towards filming site bringing contaminants even 5yrs later. St. George (Utah) equally contaminated 60yrs after tests concluded, but have to do your own research to uncover real stats.
TCM was the Gold Standard when Robert Osborne was hosting, but I do put a lot of effort in the Movie Class segments. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
I can't believe Dick Powell was originally a singer/dancer in musicals...back in the studio era you had to be a triple threat. Actors today got nothing on actors from this era.
Hi BD 🍕a total of eight were produced. I haven’t been able to locate “broadcast quality” prints of the other 3 yet. You can watch them on YT, but they look awful. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕
They make out like the making of the Conqueror was the cause of their deaths and it well could have been a contributing factor, it certainly makes a good story, but the 3 stars mentioned(Wayne,Hayward and Powell) were also all 4 pack a day smokers, they were doomed to getting cancer anyway, but that is not a story anyone wants to hear, is it?
@@rehab5355 Well I don't know but if I was a betting man(and I am) I would like to bet 88 of them were also smokers (I actually think all 89 of them were probably also smokers but leaving a margin of error), just saying that you can read what you want into statistics, there is a great quote about it I think it goes something like , "Lies, damn lies and statistics" statistics is just another word for lies unless you understand all the facts behind them The greatest Drug cartel in history was the Tobacco companies(still are) and Hollywood was always in bed with them until it became illegal to advertise pushing drugs, watch all of these old movies and TV shows and you will see subliminal advertising of Cigarettes, it has ZERO to do with the plot, but all the stars lit up on screen whether they smoked in real life or not because they had to, Big tobacco was paying their pay check! Dick Powel did it all the time, so did John wayne, they were in essence drug pushers and that cannot be denied, sure it was legal at the time but it was ALWAYS immoral.....Audie Murphy always refused to partake in it cos it set a bad example for young kids, as they say in the classics "just the facts ma'am, just the facts!"
@@richardriker566 half of Hollywood back in those days died of cancer, they weren't all in THAT movie, billions of people around the world died of cancer caused by cigarettes....and they are still dying and people like Dick Powell, John Wayne must share some of the the blame, they made cigarettes look like what the tough guys did, there was never any need to smoke on screen....but they all did, because that was how to push drugs/cigarettes, Hollywood was in bed with the biggest drug cartels the world has ever known, but it was killing them too, I am not saying that THAT movie didn't have a bearing on their deaths but Wayne and Powell had already signed their own death warrant long before "The Conqueror was ever even thought of, you can't smoke 4 packs a day....and live happily ever after! but believe what you want, you could be right, coincidences do happen
I liked those cheesy films Powell made with ruby Keeler. I really didn’t think she was that great of a dancer though. Looked like she was stomping on insects on the floor.
I agree with you Powell was very talented. on the other hand Ruby Keeler was cute and made a sweet couple with Powell but lacked tallent. She made it thanks to her Hollywood influential first husband Al Jolson the Jazz man himself. He made it possible for her.
I don't think it's great, he forces you to watch LOUD commercials while you're settling in on an old b/w drama and content falling asleep then annoying loud unrelated commercial intrudes! Won't watch pizza flicks anymore
I’m able to watch RU-vid through my tablet on my tv with a Chromcast device. My device is a few years old and cost $35.00. I do get a few commercials that are very short. And not loud at all. I loath commercials. That’s why I don’t watch regular tv.
