FRONT PAGE DETECTIVE - Murder Rides The Night Train

[@VIRGONOMICS]

More brilliant stuff from our past. This is another reason why I stay a bit stuck in Old Classics . You can’t go wrong,(most times).

THRILLING and chilling, very good for early TV.

Fantastic tv series. Edmund Lowe 1st class actor was 62 years young while making the 38 episodes😊

[@MariaLacsamana-ik3in]

I love these movies esp. In black & white screen original versions from the golden age of hollywood thanks for uploading this !!!😮😅😊

[@vannsmith3355]

One thing I like about old time television is that the characters look like everyday people. Some handsome, some plain, some fat, some thin, some with mustaches. Humphrey, Cagney, Lorre, Greenstreet all looked different and sounded. Few were six feet tall and none had tans. Today, to me anyway, all the actors and actresses look alike or similar. You really have to look at a menu to see who is who. Thank for the upload.

It's still like that, pretty much, in England.

Yes. Talbot was on "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet". But I'm sure you already knew that.😕

I knew this was going to be a good episode when I saw that Oscar P. Yerg was the art director.🙄 The first time I saw Lyle Talbot was as Phil Winston in "The Thirteenth Guest".(1932) The train conductor was played by Pat Gleason. I wonder if he was related to Jackie.🤔

[@shawnmalone9711]

Too bad Frank Lovejoy's radio show " Nightbeat" never made it to TV. This TV show came out around the same time and the story of a news reporter was still a viable plot for television.

[@shawnmalone9711]

Update: There is a TV episode of " Night Beat" and it's on KZbin!

[@jubalcalif9100]

I used to greatly enjoyed listening to episodes of radio's "Nightbeat" when a local radio station used to broadcast programs from radios Golden Age. Frank Lovejoy had a great voice for radio ! Very well written series ! Yes, it would have made a great TV series !

[@jubalcalif9100]

@@shawnmalone9711 Yes indeed Shawn ! Even though I live here in Central Calif, KNX's signal was strong enough for me to often get their station (on a clear night). I'd often listen to their Radio Drama Hour. Even sometimes the later 2am rerun if I was still up ! KMJ 580 AM here in the San Joaquin Valley presented "The Golden Age of Radio" and then later "When Radio Was" for many years. That's how I fell in love with Old Time Radio. And as you astutely pointed out, thank heavens for the internet, where literally thousands of hours of old radio shows can be heard ! Thanks so much for your follow up comment !! :-)

Usually, "notorious" gangsters, or molls, or business operators, or politicians, were "escorted" to Congressional hearings by US marshals, often in armored vehicles, and hidden out until their time to "sing" before the committee[s].

3:15 or so... this guy is a writer? Check out the hunt and peck. I'm not saying he's gotta use the home row keys method (Touch typing? whatever...) But hunt and peck. Shoot, he'd have to be a halfway decent keyboardist (no, not on the Mellotron) to be so deficient in a requisite job skill... ... enough said. But I do like the guy on the phone call before the train ride. He's a cool cucumber

[@tonypanzarella9387]

Notice how, twice during the show, he misuses "who" and "whom", and, in fact, improperly "corrects" someone who uses the proper word.

Like contempt of Congress means a thing. Just look at every Democrat, that can't answer a single yes/no question. Each one saying, "Thank you for the question, Congressperson" immediately telling the questioner their he/she/they/them pronouns, and sexual preferences (of course).

​@suzannefarrington4143Yes they do.

[@AnnacolleenEtters]

@suzannefarrington4143 If you don't think so, you don't listen to Congress very much, because it happens all the time. If you live in DC, you can walk into many sessions and watch it in person. There are plenty of examples here on youtube, if you don't live on either side of the Beltway.
