A simple taxi ride with a ballet dancer leads Mike to smuggling & murder. (To my knowledge, all 39 of The Lone Wolf episodes are public domain. If they aren't, please let me know.)
"The Lone Wolf"may be considered as the father (predecessor) of "The Saint" series starting fabulous Roger Moore. However nice episodes. Thanks for uploading.
A good episode of "The Lone Wolf" with Louis Hayward. An added bonus was Barbara Billingsly in a different role than the one she did for so many years as the mother on "Leave It To Beaver."
The Long Beach Story (a.k.a. The Smuggling Story), Season 1, Episode 1, aired 9 April 1954. Louis Hayward as Michael Lanyard, Barbara Billingsley as Jean Arnold, Burt Mustin as George Bracken, Robert Nichols (as Bob Nichols) as Sam Harris, Thomas E. Jackson (as Tom Jackson) as Lt. Diggers, Stephen Bekassy as Henri Felix, Isabelle Dwan as Frankie Ludwig, Chet Brandenburg as Boat Captain, Russell Custer, Police Officer.
Excellent minimalist music theme and dramatis personae! Mid century modern day fare galore! Thanks! Post the entire series if you will. I'm immediately hooked on the series per sequelae 😢!
Not now, Wally, I'm busy trying to figure out why Gus the fireman is running all over the place when he should be sitting down in a chair at the fire station whittling down a piece of wood with a pocket knife...
WOW, old Burt Mustin as a " baddie ", who would have thunk it? Or was he? I am so confused. And a Kaiser as a police car? Must be this model's only appearance on tv.
Beaver's mother! And Burt Mustin too. I see the jewels at 5:41 (hey wolf open your eyes. LOL) 1 last note. Did you see the mistake at 15:50. He dropped the cigarette. Ha Ha.
Back then they just rolled with the mistakes, nowadays they'd yell "CUT!" and want to start over from scratch thinking they had to get it all perfect or it'd look too embarrassing.
I agree. I adored him, but having a Dad that smoked quite a bit, and knowing his constant smoking in his films (except for the historical pieces) it was like being with an ashtray. But watching closely, he only took about 3 puffs a smoke. Killed him.
I used to have a co-worker that smoked quite a bit. Aside from really wrecking his teeth and I would guess his gums, I could often smell him coming towards me before I could see him...though it might have also been because his wife was a lackluster housewife.
