"The Lineup" (1958). Full movie rendition of the CBS TV series also known as "San Francisco Beat". Guest starring Eli Wallach. The show was CBS's answer to the success of NBC's "Dragnet". Good quality copy of the movie, lots of nostalgic scenes of 1950's San Francisco, especially the Cliff House and the Sutro Baths / ice rink.

How good is any movie with Eli in it... Just so sharp... Great cast from the era. Oh and can I have one of those cars too...

[@melokc7257]

Thanks for the location comments. One of my top reasons for watching old movies are the locations, vehicles, furniture or set design and the clothing in that time period.

[@karenhill3970]

Me too!!!

IMO this is one of the 10 greatest noirs of all time. A masterpiece really.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@henrybrowne7248 Don Siegel is a terrific director. His Invasion of the Body Snatchers is my all time favorite sci fi film. Here, the scene in the skating rink is so perfect it should be in a textbook on how to direct a film scene. " The man" here is truly terrifying yet he hardly says a word. (He was Janet Leigh's boss in Psycho BTW)

[@tedthesailor172]

My old man was a fan of gangster flicks and took me along to see this at the movies. I'd never seen a psychopath before and Eli Wallach absolutely scared the pants off me. That scene where he turns from urbane pleasantry to doll-shredding black fury as the kid bursts into tears was one of the creepiest things I'd seen at 7 years of age. It stuck in my mind for years. I don't think I've seen Eli play a nice guy ever. The "Lineup" in the title was obviously a reference to the brief, but barely relevant lineup of possible suspects. I always thought it referred to the incomplete road where the villains were ultimately trapped and killed. I'm sure this and the similarly vintaged `Kiss Me Deadly' were the principal inspirations of Tarantino's `Pulp Fiction'. Many thanks for sharing...

[@rschreck]

Your welcome! In addition to this feature film, I also have on my channel some of the episodes from the TV series. I have several of them, and will load new ones periodically.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

In Holiday, the moderately recent Nancy Meyers movie, Mr Wallach plays a lovable codger who teaches Kate Winslet to have gumption.

[@tedthesailor172]

@@RebekahCurielAlessi Thanks for that. Maybe he reached a point where he was too old to play the villain...!

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

The greatest thing about this film is that it displays many locations in San Francisco that are long gone, such as the famous Sutro Baths, Museum, etc. It was destroyed by a big fire and then a harsh storm in the early 60s. I dined in the Cliff House Restaurant a number of times in the 80s. Now, it's closed. I belonged to the once Olympic-level Letterman Fencing Club on the Presidio, both of which are now a thing of the past. San Francisco itself, is now a thing of the past, as well. Even if it is revived, somewhat, it will never be the same. All that made it wonderful is gone.

It really is. I DISCOVERED it here on Tube a few years ago.

[@henrybrowne7248]

Folks, this is a real gem. I watched it a few years ago here and it has run through my mind since. Shows how brilliant Eli Wallach is, is violent as hell[WARNING], and funny as hell at the same time, and actually rather realistic. One of Stirling Silliphant's best screenplays in my opinion. CHECK THIS OUT.

Yes it was great movie great classic actors but but Mr E W was horrible mean terrible ...all drugs the devil

[@willieluncheonette5843]

Don Siegel is such a terrific director. His Invasion of the Body Snatchers is my all time favorite sci fi. The scene in the skating rink is so perfect it should be in a textbook . Vaughn Taylor as "the man" is truly terrifying without almost saying a word. Wallach had to be talked into a big payday and vacation in SF to take the part. I believe this was only his second film role and he didn't want to play a villain.

[@RebekahCurielAlessi]

He's so completely wonderful as a nearly soulless creep for whom one still roots.

[@timcountis9368]

Siegel directed a number of Eastwood films, including Dirty Harry, The Beguiled, Escape from Alcatraz and Two Mules for Sister Sarah. He also directed Wayne's last flick, The Shootist. His career began at Warner Bros, making montages for such films as Casablanca.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@timcountis9368 Thank you for this infp. He also directed a few excellent crime/noirs including a remake of The Killers that is nothing like the original Siodmak. But it is terrific. Also his Flaming Star is one of the 3 best Elvis Presley films.

I'm very familiar with the name Eli Wallach, but was only able to put a face to the name just now after doing a Google Image search, and I only recognized his face when he was a much older man. I usually have that problem with character actors, so he must not have had many leading roles. What a great actor he was in this movie.

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

Great movie! Eli Wallich, always at his best but poor Mr. Drysdale didn't have as much hair as he did in "The Beverly Hillbillies". It was wonderful to see San Francisco in its heyday back when people by and large respected the law and each other. Social skills were what they ought to be and society was geniable. I was ten years old in 1958 and remember this time in America, back when it was America, with fondness. My thoughts went to how a wide open border erases the need for drug smugglers to go to such lengths. At nearly 76 years of age, I can't help but see old movies and compare those days with America now.
