"The False Witness Case" (1955). From the CBS TV police series "The Lineup" (later called "San Francisco Beat" in syndication). The inspectors believe a milkman's story about being robbed is a lie so they go to work proving it.

This is a real good find for us cop show lovers. Thanks !

[@user-gu1jk4qn6b]

It's wonderful, how they can tell a story in a mere 26 minutes.I like it; no fillers.

[@abogadojon]

Thank you for posting! Actor Tom Tully (TT) plays Inspector Matt Grebb. TT was nominated for an Academy Award for his supporting role in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954). If you are a film noir fan you'll remember TT as Gene Tierney's taxi-driving father in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" with Dana Andrews. `

Thanks for the info!

A good series of shows. I truly enjoy seeing the cars and styles and real telephones I remember from my childhood. Interesting storyline. I can tell it was low budget, but have no problem with that. Thanks for posting.

[@paulkitt2376]

Excellent series much appreciated

[@jeanhansel5805]

I agree. I remember watching this series as a child back in Wisconsin, and it's one of the reasons I moved here as an adult in 1964. I love the street scenes - always fun to try and identify the locations. Watching this episode, I am reminded that Van Ness Avenue really was "auto row" back in the day.

You’re welcome!

Attractive Jean Willis ("Alice") appeared in many old TV shows & "B" movies shows during her career, but always did a "class A" job. Talented Tom Tully can say "ah hmmmm" as only a cop, and a good actor can do!

[@michaelgalea5148]

Thanks for bringing us this series

[@jacksugden8190]

Not seen this before. Questions and answers, made one year before my birth, always nice to see something old/new as the case maybe be.

[@JiveDadson]

I was 8 yo, but I've never seen it. We could only receive the NBC station 70 miles away. The CBS station was too weak.

[@ianedwards4400]

I watched this episode yesterday and the picture quality was highly acceptable. While the narrative was quite good, it was not a patch on "The Hotshot Robbery Case" Season-4, Episode-18 1958 that had more excitement and intrigue. This episode starred the beautiful, popular TV Star, Lisa Gaye. Wish KZbin could locate this episode. I sure would love to see it colorized.

[@XyzXyz-mm9vq]

It’s not the YT that locates any shows/programs but the users & viewers on YT😉

[@dennisminer7952]

Debra Paget's sister Lisa Gaye was always great in every role she played. Steve McQueen fell in love with her in Wanted Dead or Alive but she perished in a very moving scene at the end of the episode. She definitely had a quietly cool persona... she used her eyes so effectively!

Any resemblance to persons named Joe Friday and Frank Smith is strictly coincidental.

[@bill2953]

20 years after this show Quinn Martin produced Streets of San Francisco starring Malden and Douglas

[@joselopezmoya9786]

Never heard of this series before.

[@jerrysegal2903]

interesting how in these old shows, there was so little traffic and always a parking spot available were they wanted to go. these days are so different.

[@plunkervillerr1529]

Great show!

[@JiveDadson]

14:39 It's a badge for a policeman, but that's not important right now.

[@vernalc2449]

The original "Streets of San Francisco"!

[@JiveDadson]

The not original Dragnet.

[@debeeriz]

ALL SHE HAD TO SAY WAS L DIDNT GET A GOOD LOOK AT HIM. i WAS FIXATED ON THE GUN

[@deevine1818]

Sad

[@fromthesidelines]

Orginally telecast on November 18, 1955.

[@michaelcardiff1460]

Hi. I arrived on the scene April of '55 ! Good stuff. I've been watching a fine little show from 1954 - the Lone Wolf. Better than living in 2024, Hee he. Hang in there.

[@fromthesidelines]

"THE LONE WOLF" was originally syndicated during the 1954-'55 season {39 episodes}.

[@matta3968]

I notice the pedestrians weren't maneuvering around any BM's on the sidewalk. A much better time in the "city by the bay', lol.

[@joselopezmoya9786]

This series reminds me of the STREESTS OF SAN FRANCISCO series with KARL MALDEN and MICHAEL DOUGLAS.

[@joselopezmoya9786]

Those cars didn't have power steering but "power muscle".

[@user-il5oq5df6l]

DPI was Desilu Productions Inc.

[@arieswaters]

Pretty good good entertainment

[@jimmedley203]

Hard to believe that the weasle looking guy who operated the telephone switchboard, was no less than Aaron Spelling...later on, one of the richest men in America...and a record making producer of tv shows...net worth at time of death was $600 million...yeah...

[@vernalc2449]

Interesting. Didn't see his name in the credits and couldn't find a reference to him in it anywhere online.

[@steverhodesvideos6244]

There was no telephone switchboard in this episode.

[@michaelcardiff1460]

Hi. How did I miss that, you sure ? He did pop up in strange places back then, including I❤Lucy. A real unusual looking dude, made a good career move !
