"The Lineup" (1958). Full movie version of the CBS drama also known as "San Francisco Beat". 

How good is any movie with Eli in it... Just so sharp... Great cast from the era. Oh and can I have one of those cars too...

Thanks for the location comments. One of my top reasons for watching old movies are the locations, vehicles, furniture or set design and the clothing in that time period.

IMO this is one of the 10 greatest noirs of all time. A masterpiece really.

What a great film. Eli Wallach was excellent. Fantastic climax.

The greatest thing about this film is that it displays many locations in San Francisco that are long gone, such as the famous Sutro Baths, Museum, etc. It was destroyed by a big fire and then a harsh storm in the early 60s. I dined in the Cliff House Restaurant a number of times in the 80s. Now, it's closed. I belonged to the once Olympic-level Letterman Fencing Club on the Presidio, both of which are now a thing of the past. San Francisco itself, is now a thing of the past, as well. Even if it is revived, somewhat, it will never be the same. All that made it wonderful is gone.

this is why i love old movies. excellent film

I've seen this movie three or four times and I'm going to enjoy it again in a couple of days, Wonderful in every respect.

My old man was a fan of gangster flicks and took me along to see this at the movies. I'd never seen a psychopath before and Eli Wallach absolutely scared the pants off me. That scene where he turns from urbane pleasantry to doll-shredding black fury as the kid bursts into tears was one of the creepiest things I'd seen at 7 years of age. It stuck in my mind for years. I don't think I've seen Eli play a nice guy ever. The "Lineup" in the title was obviously a reference to the brief, but barely relevant lineup of possible suspects. I always thought it referred to the incomplete road where the villains were ultimately trapped and killed. I'm sure this and the similarly vintaged `Kiss Me Deadly' were the principal inspirations of Tarantino's `Pulp Fiction'. Many thanks for sharing...

Wow another great movie I've never seen before, thanks RU-vid!

Good one and Don Siegal directing , and purty good cast . Always liked Eli Wallach's work

Great acting and really good movie. Thank you.

Don Siegel is such a terrific director. His Invasion of the Body Snatchers is my all time favorite sci fi. The scene in the skating rink is so perfect it should be in a textbook . Vaughn Taylor as "the man" is truly terrifying without almost saying a word. Wallach had to be talked into a big payday and vacation in SF to take the part. I believe this was only his second film role and he didn't want to play a villain.

Folks, this is a real gem. I watched it a few years ago here and it has run through my mind since. Shows how brilliant Eli Wallach is, is violent as hell[WARNING], and funny as hell at the same time, and actually rather realistic. One of Stirling Silliphant's best screenplays in my opinion. CHECK THIS OUT.

Raymond Bailey in his hometown of San Francisco. He was the cantankerous Mr. Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies.

The police car is a 1957 Dodge Lancer, the top of the line model for that year. Taxpayer money well spent? Excellent Series Swan Song.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic directed by Don siegal who went on to direct dirty Harry with Clint Eastwood. Maybe Eli wallach best performance and that's saying something.

What a great film with an excellent cast? Great location shooting in San Francisco.

Great Flick' Yonda 🎉🎉

Dark gripping crime "Film Noir" at it's best 👌

I like to have the black Dodge the detectives were driving.

Great to see the Sutro Baths in it's Ice rink form. The chase here beats the Bullitt one; better scenery!

I was born at former Oak Knolls Naval Hospital in Oakland in 1956.

I used to watch this show,in Sydney-Auastralia,-as San-fran. Beat -a brilliant show,I fell in love with "Frisco"-watching these,--trouble with drugs,then,nearly 70 years ago !!---worse now,-sadly--

Almost all of the main character actors were in at least one episode of THE FUGITIVE (1963-67)... the older bad guy played Dr. Richard Kimble's MD father. Vaughen Taylor was in 4 episodes - played a different character in every year of the series.

I'm very familiar with the name Eli Wallach, but was only able to put a face to the name just now after doing a Google Image search, and I only recognized his face when he was a much older man. I usually have that problem with character actors, so he must not have had many leading roles. What a great actor he was in this movie.

That was a A1 movie very well acted by a great cast thankyou ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was Jack Kerouac's favorite TV show

Great movie!! Must watch!

Great movie! Eli Wallich, always at his best but poor Mr. Drysdale didn't have as much hair as he did in "The Beverly Hillbillies". It was wonderful to see San Francisco in its heyday back when people by and large respected the law and each other. Social skills were what they ought to be and society was geniable. I was ten years old in 1958 and remember this time in America, back when it was America, with fondness. My thoughts went to how a wide open border erases the need for drug smugglers to go to such lengths. At nearly 76 years of age, I can't help but see old movies and compare those days with America now.

見られてよかったです！ありがとうございます。

Love that black Dodge

Very violent!.😔

The lady actually thought he was the most interesting man she had met since her divorce - very manly and exciting

Great‼️

"This gun's as dead as your cab driver." 🚖

I was only 10 when movie made but think no intelligent wary mother with young child would evr get into a car with not only 1 strange man but 2 !! I realize the writer thought it necessary but seriously ?! Good flick. 👍 Suspenseful good plot and hav always enjoyed Wallach n anything production.

Mr Drysdale, before he became a Beverly Hills banker.

Great to see Mary LaRoche... she's beautiful

Wow. When he pushed that man in the wheelchair over the rail, that was worse than Richard Widmark pushing the old lady in the wheelchair down the stairs in the movie Kiss of Death.

All the latest models of American cars, still cruising the streets of Cuba

Eli Wallach my favourite actor

Excelente película

"We all got a monopoly on sadness"

9020 Jackson St. was the address Eli Wallace was given for the Sanders' residence but he told his hotrod Plymouth driver 2090 Jackson St. Uh oh

A taut little thriller. Dressler played by the guy who played the banker in The Beverly Hillbillies

Its a great show, however none on the radios never mentioend the woman and her child being in the car.

The guy in the wheelchair was OK. He just became a quadriplegic is all. 😂

Back in the day when testing drugs in the lab with your mouth was good science.

@rschreck == thanks === You might say WALLACH was the very first JOE PESCI seen in mob movies and he was just as mean on a NAKED CITY TV SERIES EPISODE where he was a ROUGH SHOOT (PETER FALK ) FIRST DETECTIVE ***

With Warner Anderson as the stoic grandfatherly Lt. and Emile Meyer as a more menacing muscle man than crusty Tom Tully . Mary LaRoche in a few years would make a good living playing the mother of various female teenagers .

The guy called "the man" looks like the same actor who was a criminal in Perry Mason - he and his twin brother pulled off medical insurance scams :)

They need Broderick to set up a roadblock :)

It's Mr. Drysdale.

Wasn't that the freeway that collapsed during the 1989 quake?

So the little girl had pulled her doll apart? What was she looking for?

Police always bungle the case near the end, so a car chase becomes necessary, contributing to public endangerment. 🙄

Eli Wallach aka Tuco😅

Was this movie based on the radio series of the same name ?

Wow. Whe5n he shoved the man

The outcome of this film, different if the wheelman was allowed his alcohol... 3 to 5, everyone would have got the job done without that kid hadn't been there to powder that doll's face with!

When the yanks made good Flicks

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
