During production, one of the actors, Jack Webb, struck up a friendship with the police technical advisor,Detective Sergeant Marty Wynn, and was inspired by a conversation with Wynn to create the radio and later television program Dragnet.[1]

ReplyDeleteHi! Brian...
ReplyDeleteThank-you,
However, if the truth be told...if I knew half as much as some fellow film bloggers, knew about films...I would be in "seventh heaven!"
Therefore, I keep my ear to that "proverbial" film ground trying to pick-up as much info(rmation) as possible to share with others too!
Once again, Brian,
Thanks, for stopping by and leaving a comment too!

Hey! Brian...
ReplyDeleteI went back and re-read your poem "The Show Must Go On" and I think that your poem is much deeper than actors on a stage. {Unless the actors, are politician...)
The word [Power] play and the other commenter's comments...made me look at your poem in a different..."light" too!
Thanks, for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHi! Dhemz...
ReplyDeleteOh! yes, three Classic Film noir...I have watched all three films...even though I must admit that I watched the film "Raw Deal" with abandon (not paying too much attention to the film...Therefore, I must re-watch that film.)
