We need more Saxophone related content in crime dramas. For too long has the violin case dominated the genre 🎷🎻

Thank you for finding and posting this, TooleMan! I love how tight the stories are on M Squad. But I discovered two other things I’m going to watch for in future episodes! 1. Cutting to matching action. Wow does that add momentum to the show! Someone pushed a button smashcut to ringing a cash register. You don’t see that kind of cutting anymore. 2. Showing off high tech. Look at we saw! Computer! Speaker phone! I think something else that slipped my mind but seeing that card sorter at work, very strong science for the time! And I’m puzzling what Lee Marvin was drinking water out of near the end. It didn’t look like the typical ‘cone’ water cup that a water cooler has, it looked a lot like he was drinking from an empty cigarette pack! Now that can’t be right but that’s how it looked to me. Of course Lee Marvin is so tough he could squeeze clean drinking water out of a pack of smokes… 😁

The cutting to match action (smash cut) is a new feature of M Squad as of this episode, and it is used very effectively here. And Ballinger is drinking from a folding paper cup. I remember seeing and using those ages ago. I think they weren't very popular. Dixie Cups were seen more often.

@@TooleManTV excellent! And it always makes me happy when someone knows what I’m blathering about! The show Honey West used smash cuts a whole lot. Sometimes the match to action was a tad…suspect. 😁

Great back up actors. Lawrence Dobkins, Howard McNear, Herb Vigrin, Peter Leeds. All great Radio stars.

It’s a shame that Howard McNear is best - and too often only - remembered for his work on the Andy Griffith Show. McNear was one of this country’s finest character actors in radio in the post-war period, perhaps most notably as “Doc” in the Western “Gunsmoke,” perhaps the best dramatic radio series this country has ever produced.

@DavidDillon101 I couldn't agree more. And have said the same exact thing. He stars on an episode of Suspense. He is the pilot of a spaceship. Awesome.

Leslie Nielsen's "Police Squad" was based on "The M Squad." As a matter of fact, they used one of "The M Squad's" episodes in "Police Squad." I love this show. I have EVERY episode on DVD, which came with a Soundtrack CD of the show's music by the Count Basie Orchestra!🎶🎶🎶🥰

My mom was a big fan of this show and Lee Marvin. As we lived in the metropolitan area it was fun to point out shooting locations we recognized. Oddly enough I still do this but in a quirky way. I do contract work for Universal TV Chicago PD on certain remote shoots. It’s fun to see the locations that I’ve contributed to.
