[@christopherfranklin4760]

Gotta love those (now) old cars with carburetors. I noticed the cop car Mathews was driving belched out a nice cloud of black smoke when he started it up. No emissions controls back in the day. Now you just about have to have an electrical engineering degree to open the hood, let alone trying to figure what's wrong.

First came across this series last week. First i thought it was hoaky, but now I am addicted to them. Broderick Crawford was a great film noire actor and he bought his talent to the small screen.

[@hertzair1186]

[@richardweiler6931]

It is hokey. But it's a classic. Brod's performance eclipses the sometimes mundane acting and plots.

[@conniewojahn6445]

Is in some ways, hokey, but that's because they're viewed by people who have decades of progress and accumulated knowledge not available back when these episodes were filmed.

The Dodge patrol car was a very special car. Don't remember all the details, but the chrome exhaust tips identify it as an A300? Bumper cutaways for the tips. These were very special high performance cars. Very rare.

Some of us get that day put in front of us...Back when I sold Real Estate many years ago I sold a real nice family home to a couple with kids and a Grand Mother in tow they all were going to live there . The couple went back to the State they were from and sent Grand Mother a Cashiers check ...a blank Cashiers check for the full price of the home she gave the blank check to me in the office ....When I looked and saw the pay too line blank I started to shake...lol...she turned to walk away...I knew I had to stop her before she got out that door....I did...we sat down and wrote the title Companys name on there and put it in the RE Office safe...I guess in todays dollars it would be well over a Million or more by now , and I was a starving RE agent at that time....Me for the win !....lol..all I could see was me in Mexico with all that money and their Grand Mother and kids sitting on the curb....and maybe Dan chasing me up those stairs ...not a pretty sight

[@suppylarue220]

that appears to have been filmed in a SP railroad yard. in two scenes during the case a long 7 bay building appears in the background and two locomotives 2 the right. one appears to be an SP diesel, the other a PE electric. but where exactly? the hill in the far background could pinpoint the location.

$12,000 in 1957 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $128,472.60 today, an increase of $116,472.60 over 66 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.66% per year between 1957 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 970.60%.

Crawford talks like he knows this is a 30 minutes show (which of course HE DOES !!!). Also notice thar they never handcuffed the suspect and constantly walks in front of him

[@dong6839]

Since these are all based off accounts of real crimes, is this show just an example of terrible television writing, or is this how criminals really acted back then when they were caught? Every episode ends up with the criminal getting cornered, and Matthews pulls out his gun, says something slick, and the criminal just pretty much "gives up" and walks casually with officers back to the waiting police car. There was never a struggle back in the 50's? Criminals just put their hands up, said, "well? Ya got me!" and they walked away civilly, never a need for the criminal or a single patrolmen to soil his uniform by rolling in the dust and dirt? No criminal ever went hands on with Matthews, or forced him to chase after them? I'd love to see Matthews snuff out his cigarette and scale a wooden privacy fence, just once! Lol. Also, what's with the utter lack of black crime back in the 50's!? Is that how the country was back then!? If so.. what the hell happened!? Based on this show, America's public enemy number 1 was young, clean-cut, white, males, and the occasional devoted girlfriend or wife! This show paints a picture of America in the 50's where black and brown people didn't exist, and if they did, they stayed completely hidden from society and never committed any crimes!
