58:10- "Now stay tuned for a world television premiere: Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis, Jr., Pearl Bailey and Dorothy Dandridge star in Samuel Goldwyn's production of George Gershwin's 'Porgy and Bess', on 'THE SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE'- in color, next, on ABC."
This was to Ford on ABC's Sunday night schedule, what "BONANZA" was to Chevrolet on NBC's Sunday night schedule. Veteran commercial actor Bill Fiore is "The Vampire" in the commercial at 42:23 (with McLean Stevenson's voice!).
@eldersprig No, not her... she had her own show on TV at this time.. Efrem is a good driver... always loved the end music, the promo for next week looked good.. hope they post more of these on here, though the only reason this hasn't been pulled is probably due to the current release of Clint Eastwoods movie on J Edgar Hoover..
"McCloud......!!!" ok, nice to see youtube allowing long uploads... anyone else annoyed when a vid doesn't allow you to fast forward... i was waiting for the Ford Truck I beam ad with the light bulbs.. As to the remard regarding the current crime shows.. this is more simplistic, and the ads too but i think i enjoy shows from this era better.. todays show are too edgy and try to be too cleaver by half..anyone??
The show is on D.V.D. as part of the Warner Archives Collection, except that they omit the "The F.B.I. In Color" tag at the beginning plus the "Ribbon" tags that closed each act. Few people know (and even WItkopedia doesn't mention this) is that J. Edgar Hoover appeared in a filmed segment at the beginning of the season opener for the show's first seven seasons.
A very good episode with the guest appearance of one of the best actress of the 60s and the 70s Antoinette Bower! She has a tons of guest star credits through more than two decades! what a class!
@joboots007 : She also has a small appearance in another QM series around the same time, The Invaders, in the episode "Wall of Crystal"...unfortunately, her character and her newlywed husband are killed off by the aliens before the opening credits in that one.
One of the series' best episodes, with wall-to-wall action, and a great performance by J.D. Cannon as the villain...and it's neat to see the full opening credits and the old commercials as well!
@radmason : No need to apologize...there was no mix-up...Cannon played Chief Clifford in the series, Richman played Clifford in "McCloud: Who Killed Miss USA?", the TV-movie that was the pilot film (i.e., the movie that sold the series to the network).
In case you've never seen it, Richman plays the character of Clifford with a little softer edge than Cannon did...he was more harsh than Richman. Both actors were ideal for the Chief Clifford role and all their FBI parts.
@recordman64 OK i watch the series late back then & didn't see the pilot Movie i'll see whether i can find it on dvd & watch it. When i saw the series thats when i seen Cannon on there as a matter of fact A&E showed the reruns a few years back in the afternoons & i would set my vcr & taped them while i was @ work they ran the Mystery Movie of the week Episodes like McCloud as well as McMillian, Banacek, Columbo etc.
Wow...the commercial for the Ford Fairlane at about 31:30 use the Beatles' Norwegian Wood as theme music. Didn't know their music rights were on the market back then.
Thank you for uploading this complete episode of FBI. This video has never been issued on DVD and is very hard to find. Hope you can upload other episodes as much as The Long Hot Summer. Thanks a lot.
Thye Commercials were so much differant then. They actually informed you about the Product, and were not "pushed" on you in the most obno0xious manner possible the way today's commercials are. The amount of time set aside for Commercials was less than half of what it is today. Also, products that dealt with various "Bodily Functions" were not allowed to advertise, so Parents didn't need to worry about what their kids saw every time a Show went to a Commercial Break.
Wow! this really brings back great memories to see these shows with the commercials in them. I used to watch The FBI when i was young. thanks for uploading this classic.
@ctlacy1963 Remmeber anything that can leak will leak on a ford ford stands for fix or repair daily thats why the FBI uses them its the taxpayers money so what do they care j edgar hoover said you cant have any episodes of the fbi where a witness was killed or illustrating hoovers gay escapades and no episodes making hippie commie peacenicks or negro civil rights demonstators look good

@irish89055 It's not Carol Burnett...however, her show wouldn't start until the fall of 1967.
Besides, Burnett once said she would starve in the streets before doing an endorsement-type commercial.

Just think... what if FBI asks a question nobody answers any question ? How would this flick have played out ? Just a thought...........
