S1Ep27 Highway Patrol Motorcycle A with Clint Eastwood in Chatsworth

Having retired from the state police many years ago, I found this quite amusing, because in the early 80's the men who actually worked during the era of this film were still around, and a lot of them were remarkable characters. Here in deep southern Illinois, a very rural area, before the cars were equipped with radios, the troopers were issued rolls of dimes. When they went through a small town, they were supposed to stop and call the district to see if there were any calls waiting. If there was an urgent call, headquarters would call the local funeral home or some other local business that had a small red light mounted on the building, and they'd turn the light on to let any passing trooper know that they had an urgent call.

[@Rainman270]

Either that, or those businesses were offering " other " services when they had their red lights on. 😱

[@Bret4207]

Retired NYSP. Where I worked in the Adirondack Mtns, radio reception was pretty iffy back in the day. We could receive usually but calling back was a real trial. We knew the location of every pay phone (remember those?!!) in our patrol areas. You were lucky, they didn't give us any dimes!!!!

Detroit currently has the Project Green Light an initiative between area businesses and the Detroit Police Department. It started, in January 2016, with eight gas stations. You now see the program’s flashing green lights all over town. Over 200 locations participate, including fast food restaurants, grocery stores and even apartment buildings. The belief that the program reduces crime has led to a number of community groups demanding businesses in their neighborhoods take part. The high definition video at these locations can be viewed by the DPD in real time. Thankyou officer Melvin for that fascinating connection to the past.

Born 1952. Lived in S California until 35 and worked in Chatsworth after college, lived in Granada Hills, Lancaster, Edwards, Newberry Park, West LA,, college in Brentwood, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach. We had a '57 Dodge exactly like the one they drive in some of the episodes. My wife grew up in Chatsworth until high school. Went to Disneyland the first time the second year it was open. I lived at Edwards AFB in elementary school. So the entire highway patrol series is driving around the same roads I was on at the same time. In the movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", they show the movie "Quest for Fire" on the marque on the Cinerama in Hollywood, I saw that movie there at the time portrayed. The first part of the movie "The Right Stuff" was at Edwards, the houses the Astronauts lived in were exactly as the one I lived in there, at the same time as the real events. I have been to Pancho Barne's Happy Bottom Riding Academy and saw Pancho several times. One office I worked at was near Culver City tv studios and they used the street right outside our office to film "Chips". I worked in downtown LA in the building they used to film the exteriors for "LA Law". Countless movies and tv shows were filmed in S CA, so if I watch vintage media, it frequently looks like some part of my life.

[@Bracgypsy]

At the end of a show or movie, I usually let the closing credits roll and watch. Sometimes interesting things pop out. Like this time. Note the Audio Supervisor was Quinn Martin. He learned his craft well. Martin later went on to head his own quite impressive production company QM Productions. He had at least one television series running in prime time every year for 21 straight years. The late Martin became a member of the Television Hall of Fame, having been inducted in 1997. He produced some 20 television movies and created more than 15 series, most notably crime and law enforcement dramas The Untouchables (1959-63), The Fugitive (1963-67), The F.B.I. (1965-74), Cannon (1971-76), The Streets of San Francisco (1972-77), and Barnaby Jones (1973-80). Also great to see how far the then bit actor Clint Eastwood has come since then.

@coogan8825 yeah, if I hung out at the Spahn Ranch in the isolated, hidden away Santa Susana Pass. Otherwise Los Angeles is a big big city. So your chances of running into Manson (as so many claim to have done) were fairly miniscule. And back in the late 60s, there was no shortage of characters who were spitting images of Manson: glazed eyes, beard, long stringy hair, dressed like a homeless person. There were thousand of Manson look-alikes prowling L.A. at that time. But folks would prefer to believe that they ran into the real deal. Unlikely.

This show was in reruns when I was a kid, but I never got to watch it because it wasn't showing on any of our TV stations, and we didn't have many. I do remember seeing Broderick Crawford as a guest in the TV show ChiPs playing himself and still wishing this show was on the air in my neck of the woods. Still was great to see Clint Eastwood as a young man.

I wish I could time travel to that era for a while.

They should play this in schools today, maybe teach our kids something about personal responsibility and prejudice.

Hard to imagine Chatsworth being so rural back then. Sure has changed!

Now that California is looking more like Soylent Green these desirable rural scenes are becoming more treasured.

@jeffschwartz4t.o.council-j132 Check out the rooftop at 1:01. A sign on top of the cafe points the way to Corriganville (which I believe points to the north). So it was indeed in the Chatsworth area. I used to ride my motorcycle up Topanga Canyon and out into Simi Valley. And when I was very young (about the time the series was being produced) Chatsworth was very rural.

My father was in the Ohio State Patrol when these aired, and he always got a hoot out of them.

[@tieroneactual2228]

That’s cool. My Grandma’s brother started with them in 1948, I think he was in Class #39, then my one uncle started with them in early 1968, Class #79. I fondly remember the Plymouth’s with the 383’s & 440’s, & the Chevys with the 427 & 454’s. They used to flip the lid on the air cleaner upside down, mostly on the Plymouth’s & they made a very distinct sound during heavy acceleration!

[@tazmod7272]

You can tell from this short episode that Mr. Eastwood was going to be a star. I was in San Francisco in the late 70’s for a business meeting. I was in the Hotel’s bar when one of the business persons with me said there was a movie star in the bar. As I started to look around Clint Eastwood began walking out past us. The guy I was with said hi to Mr. Eastwood and Eastwood said said hi back. He seemed to be a nice guy. Since I have ridden motorcycles since 1968 this episode interest me how it would turn out.

Broderick Crawford's ability to rest his 38 pistol on top of his squad car and shoot bad guys 100 yards away will always be legend in the handgun community :)

Oakland Tribune, Tuesday, January 24, 1956--Clint Eastwood, a 25-year-old Hollywood newcomer who is described as a "young Gary Cooper," revealed the other day that he hails from Oakland. He's going to be seen as Carol Channing's love interest in "The First Travelling Saleslady," which stars Ginger Rogers. Eastwood parlayed a bit part on TV into his screen role after producer-director Arthur Lubin caught his performance in one of the "Highway Patrol" series. The young Oaklander had some Bay Area little theater experience, he said, prior to working in television.

A gem with a young Clint Eastwood. In the 50's, Motorcycles and riders had a bad reputation. Bikers, like the "Black Widows" in Every Which Way But Loose, where "feared throughout the land".
