  • When posting this, I was most impressed by Frank Smith (Ben Alexander). Prior to the movie, he was never very physical in the 1950's series. He was always the mild-mannered married man and let Joe do most of the "hard stuff." I love it when Frank knocks the guy into the water cooler! It was a side of him that I had never seen before!

  • Harper Goff (Walt Disney artist and songwriter), In a few episodes and the pool hall attendent

  • Ha, awesome! And it looks gorgeous in color!

  • Ridiculously staged scene. The TV series was so much better. This is almost camp. First, no cops are going to stay seated in a disadvantageous physical position knowing they're going to be hit upon. So this is the opposite of the TV series, which aimed (& achieved) realism. Second, the punches are ludicrously choreographed and stylized. The quip Webb speaks after hitting the table is also unrealistic. The smile after the fight is unrealistic. The musical underscore is perfunctory.

  • Ben Alexander was a child star years before Dragnet (of course). My best friend and I met Ben Alexander back in the summer of 1960 when he owned a couple of car lots (SF, LA). We took a couple of buses across San Francisco to see him and another couple getting back. When we got to the dealership we asked to see him and he came to greet us. We told him that we were fans from his Dragnet days.He seemed rather impressed that two teenagers wanted to meet him. Great guy~very down to earth!

  • "Joe Friday's 3-D House of WhoopAss"...

  • I swear, this scene is 3D GOLD, Baby!

  • Awwwww too bad there was a fire escape outside that window when Joe Friday knocked him through the window.

  • Note the CHESTERFIEDL machine at 1:53 of the clip. CHESTERFIELD was a long time sponsor of both the radio and tv versions of...DRAGNET.
