Peter Gunn | Season 1 | Episode 1 | The Kill | Craig Stevens | Herschel Bernardi | Lola Albright

Great show.😁

[@brucesannino6181]

I'm seventy-six years old. Among other weekly black and white TV shows Peter Gunn was one of my favorites. It was at the tail end of the film noir era that played in theaters. I loved it. Back then film and TV were often "about" the social issues of the day. It was usually commercial entertainment that expressed a point of view. There was very little technical enhancement available and pretty much everything was low budget. Therefore the quality of the scripts, the acting, the production all went into making a "good" show. PETER GUNN was a very good show. In the language of the day the Peter Gunn character was a 'hard boiled dick'.

[@SBCBears]

This was clearly adult fare, but it was a favorite of mine, too.

[@alfredbonnabel7022]

This show packs so much 'punch' in 28 minutes.

[@HershLundy]

Glad I can catch up on these now that it's not past my bedtime.😊

[@Robbie_S]

Great upload

[@ricosuavemusicalescapades5923]

Are you gonna be allowed to put the episodes from season 2 & 3 of Peter Gunn back on you tube soon like they used to be all on? Also the remaining episodes of Mr. Lucky ? RICO SUAVES MUSICAL ESCAPADES !!!!

[@glennsammon4465]

once upon a time, TV was wholesome. families like mine would gather in the living room and watch TV together. shows for the whole family were on. and all of them were clean. the only drawback was if you were the closest to the TV , you were the TV remote.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Sometimes the antenna. 😂 No kidding.

[@jonathanhmcauley]

Ummm, 3 people murdered by 2 corrupt police officers in the first 2 minutes - I know what you mean, but...

[@nomadicroadrat]

The kids were attuned to the double entendres; the parents were clueless.

[@SBCBears]

Voice activated remote

[@Kingdomcomingsoon]

Impressive, a lot of entertainment squeezed into 1/2 hour.

[@svaphrodite]

A favorite of mine when it came out! Glad to find it again :)

[@matrox]

I was a small kid when PG came out and remember watching it. The theme song was as popular as the show.

[@australiasfirstmate1556]

God, I miss those days......................felt young again!

[@boudewynwagener7653]

Very nice...old school. No swearing🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@thomastimlin1724]

Best TV theme ever written!! By Henry Mancini. I;m surprised this series didn't last longer than 3 years...it's real slick...

[@Kingdomcomingsoon]

Most great series did not last long, heads of the major companies really sucked.

[@soruffsotuff6214]

3:20 Gavin MacLeod aka Capt Stubing (The Love Boat) when he was young!!

[@IncogNito-gg6uh]

I didn’t recognize him until he spoke.

[@WTH1812]

Look into a very different era. Classic theme song. Excellent incidental music. None of the guys shot in the opening were Black

[@martyhowell4043]

😆

[@PeterRoos]

Awesome show, and even more awesome music by Henri Mancini.

[@lulapaloola]

Henry Mancini was the best at capturing the mood with great arrangements

[@TheEldarGuy]

Fantastic show. Permanent night, seedy settings, and late night jazz with beautiful women singing. Perfect.

[@alfredbonnabel7022]

Love seeing Hope Emerson. ❤

[@jidissafi7413]

I like her as well. I watched her punch some mobster in the face during a barroom brawl on one a couple weeks ago. I like the way she and Gunn sort of look out for each other too. - had to come back and correct this-> it's actually Minerva Urecal (the 2nd Mother) that hit the guy, but they're kind of interchangeable, and I wouldn't want to tangle with either

[@michaelrider3292]

Excellent 👍

[@bergy-62]

Very risqué dialogue if you read between the lines. Fantastic series..music is classic.

[@13699111]

Thank you

[@willaknotts1298]

That is the sexiest theme song ever. Top Gun is next! Oh those fly boys.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Somewhere there's a clip of the Black Horse band playing the Peter Gun theme. In Vietnam, welcoming the troops back from Cambodia.

[@martyhowell4043]

Great song. My favorite version is by Duane Eddy.

[@MariaLacsamana-ik3in]

I love these bnw series I wish this era had remained all were still calm, decent folks n a simple life all together thanks 😮😅😊😊

[@livethink1625]

"Peter Gunn" The Kill (TV Episode 1958) 7.6 A gang attempts to extort money from Mother. When she refuses to pay, the gang dynamites her club and critically injures its owner. The police investigation stalls so Gunn goes hunting for the man he holds responsible.

[@tommysmith824]

Lola was fabulous.

[@willaknotts1298]

I enjoyed smoking cigarettes as a teenager watching those women holding theirs. But i had to quit socializing and drinking in order to quit at age 22. Glad i did too!

[@garryferrington811]

You must be fun.

[@stevenhandzel5929]

Pretty edgy for its day, when Pete threatens a guy with an execution. Even though he doesn’t go through with it, the way he convinces the guy he’s gonna die is pretty dark. Great acting, great writing, great show.

[@steveprestegard5151]

24:00 put it in Park when you stop!

[@OnlyThe1Son]

cool show.. very Noir... first I ever heard about this. just popped up on IMDB and thought emm that looks interesting... of course I was born 20 years after this show came out so never saw it growing up or caught reruns of this show. other shows of that 50s and 60s I heard about and watched in the 80s.. but this one no...

[@jeffstrite8190]

I've watched all of season... would love to be able to view the remaining seasons

[@frankgreco]

Is that Tommy Tedesco on guitar at 5:37?

[@matrox]

Yeh...Dats him.

[@matrox]

Yeh...Dats him.

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

A lot of the cast I recognize from "The Untouchables"

[@neilbarnett3046]

Oh, the nicotine! The smoke! She couldn't really sing that well in a cloud like that, surely!

[@rupertlenoir]

clint eastwood stole the opening scene for magnumforce

[@glennsammon4465]

I don't know if it was actually Clint who did it but yeah , I get what you mean, I have that movie,

[@maroulio2067]

still works in 2024- nice noir show

[@jidissafi7413]

Everybody on this is cool, but Bernardi really steals the show sometimes. It's nice to see a show with a lawman figure who's not the main character, but often saves the day for him, rather than the other way around. Too many Sheriff Coffees and Micah Torrances on old shows that get themselves taken hostage and need to be rescued and crap. Jacoby will bust into some warehouse out of nowhere like Batman and start throwing guys across the room (or shoot them). I think I also like him cause he's a grouch. 😁

[@ergonautilus]

1958!

[@orneryhombre9078]

@frankgreco, it has to be! Ha, great (guitar) minds think alike!

[@EnlightnMe48]

Wow his narration voice sounds like Leslie Nielsen. Pretty close.

[@alanstrong55]

That show slipped by me at that time. Likely came on after my bedtime.

[@michaelsouthwood6895]

Lola Albright

[@ronmoore4372]

written and directed by Blake Edwards ( went on to do the Pink Panther series ).

[@VictoriaAlfredSmythe]

an ad every 7 minutes

[@JohnInTheShelter]

This and JOHNNY STACCATO are the closest TV has gotten to film noir.

[@elblindo3729]

BE AWARE! Lola is hot, hot hot, so when she sings, your monitor will melt down!

[@PRODUCCIONESMONROY]

Excelente

[@michaelsouthwood6895]

Love you edie

[@jidissafi7413]

This guy gets conked on the head more than all three stooges put together. He even gets conked from the front on a bunch of them, where he should've seen the conker ahead of time. After watching a bunch of them, you can sort of feel it coming by the camera angles and where he's going or for what.

[@jimcphelan]

The 2 cops dudes in crossfire.

[@apmoy70]

Never heard of the show before, nor the character but the music tune is known worldwide, the music has outlived the character

[@md88kg]

Thank Heaven for banning smoking.

[@rmcfete]

You forget the time period

[@peace-yv4qd]

Man. They had harsh punishments for speeding back then.

[@dennispeltier6142]

😊

[@SLjansvrensb.]

stop watching when use God's Name in vain

[@garryferrington811]

Allahu Akbar!

[@thomasbrunn-e6p]

wow amazing this guy cannot function without cigarettes

[@dagnabbit6187]

‘‘Twas the era !

[@soruffsotuff6214]

Cigarette companies were the main sponsors for prime time television at the time.

[@garryferrington811]

I used to be like that.

[@philclark8681]

Imagine the pills. He hangs out in a jazz club, after all.

[@nomadicroadrat]

@thomadbrunn Can have authentic detective noir without cigarettes. They are one of the main characters.
