"The Robert Avery Case" (1957). From the CBS cop show "The Lineup" (aka "San Francisco Beat")

Wish this series were on DVD, the complete series.

[@KockyArapopolis]

It is on Amazon may not be complete series though and unless it's remastered is probably not worth it.

Hats. Always, a touch of the brim when beginning and concluding a conversation. Always taken off inside when it should be. Never worn backwards.

[@pixie3760]

Wonderful, isn't it.

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

With the commercials - thanks!!! Wish I had that round toothpaste ;>

[@robertpeters4161]

I like it when they show the commercials of the day. That ipana was in a plastic ball. When I was a little kid, ipana was in a tin tube and whenever I could, I'd sneak into my grama's bathroom and eat the stuff and they'd get mad about it. That toothpaste tasted SO GOOD! then I had to brush with green toothpaste. Crest! With florestan. Tasted terrible.

Retired from the SFFD in 98. Some of those old Ariel Truck Co.s and Engines were Reserve units when I first came on in 78. Love the City locations from the 50’s & 60’s. Quite a town before the Love Generation. Smelly hippies.

[@paulgooding803]

"Hippies" were six decades ago. Do you get out much?

[@greyjay9202]

The "love" generation turned large parts of the city into an open sewer. Disease, public nudity, drug peddling, biker gangs, and homeless kids wandering the streets. Not very different today, actually. Add in illegal immigrants and the mentally ill.

Just more proof that not everyone who wears a uniform is a hero.

@@paulgooding803 Did you even bother to read his comment, or did you puke your bile right away? BTW, I lived there, in the very Haight Ashbury (look it up). And yes, they were dirty, smelly hippies. They are the grandparents of today's confused "70 genders" woke generation.

[@KockyArapopolis]

A step back in time I haven't seen this in decades😮

[@jorgemoreno8942]

Love this amazing show

[@joecrumpler]

The show started on radio. Most old time radio channels air episodes. They always start with a suspect lineup with varied characters.

[@greyjay9202]

Ford flathead V-8 unmarked detective cars. Cigarette ads. Search warrants issued within half an hour. Wow, does this bring me back.

At 26:20 the longtime news reader of the NBC Today Show in the 1950s and 1960s Frank Blair doing the cigarette commercial .

"Every man should have a case of dynamite. I comes in handy sometimes. Good protection against people who hate you." ~ Robert Avery

[@LucianTSkeptic]

That's my motto, and it has served me well lo these many years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@matta3968]

Sure, it's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

[@glenntaylor9003]

In this and other older films, drivers often exit a vehicle from the passenger side. Could have been to economize on camera angles. Would have been easier to do with bench seats.

[@389383]

Great to see Seals Stadium right before the Giants started playing there.

[@matta3968]

Good commercials.

[@AnnacolleenEtters]

Imagine, San Francisco used to be a law and order city. No poop maps, no needles, no drug addicts sleeping on the street, and no smash and grabs.

[@kathleenking47]

That came sfter 2000

Pell Mell cigarettes, or Pall Mall cigarettes?

[@LucianTSkeptic]

Couldn't they just turn back the hands on the clock?
