One of the nice things about this channel is that there's no commercials. Some other channels showing Highway Patrol have advertisements. Thanks, foxeema.
when I interviewed for a state prison job at the end of the interview they wanted to know if I had anything to add. I told them that I was very knowledgeable in proper conduct which criminals and that I had watched every episode of Highway Patrol .
I turned down an opportunity to work for the state correction department after my enlistment but turned it down because it didn't pay enough, and most importantly, I think is like serving time but with privileges. I chose Loss Prevention in Hotels.
That sure was a beautiful lady, Elaine Riley. Was a model, a beauty queen and worked in B movies and TV. Died in 2015 at age 98. This show had some real pretty women. That cabin was great. Real secluded. Had to duck a couple of trees ro get to it. View of mountains and fog. Plenty of stars at night. Perfect, especially with Miss Riley for company!
Thanks for the info. I like to explore IMDb and get the scoop on the actors who played guest roles. And I agree - Elaine Riley was a beautiful actress with an interesting story.
That reformed criminal Ray Summers was dam lucky to have such a beautiful gal like Elaine Riley happily waiting for him upon his release, even if she was around 40 years old at the time. Most women aren't that loyal.😊

@@glennso47 That's Hollywood, as my mom would say. She worked at Universal studios in the 60's, and would tell me as a teenager, "everything (in Hollywood movie production) is fake".
Phil Gibson I like the one with the metal visor in the front window! Looks like a carry over design from the mid 40. From the looks of most of the GM cars they're 1956 or 1958 Bel Aire's.
***** The car with the visor looks like a 53 Pontiac, the couple is driving a 57 Ford, the station wagon looks like a 55-56 Dodge, Matthews is driving a 56 Mercury, the other patrol cars are Mercurys. No Bel Airs.
+Brian Salomon Nope - the car with the visor is a Pontiac. I can tell by the hood ornament, the 'suspenders' on the hood, the small 'fins' on the rear taillights and my family had one when I was a kid.
Another 30 seconds added, showing him giving the Money back to the Man, who he stole it from would have been an even better ending. But That's Hollywood.
But that is how the phone worked pre-direct distance dialing. You called the operator and asked for a "person to person" long distance call. 100 miles away would have been a toll call, made through the operator. They would look the number up if you didn't have it. Lots of service, "The Voice with a Smile".
There's some great close-ups of several 50's American cars seen at the beginning on a wet rainy day. A 1953 Pontiac 2-door Deluxe Chieftan, a 1957 Ford Fairlane, a 1956 Chrysler New Yorker moving right behind it, and a 1956 De Soto Firedome parked outside the house. 🙂

It was not necessary to ruin the suspense for those who have yet to watch this episode. Your comment should have been prefaced with the term "Spoiler" or "Spoiler Alert" so others would be alerted to your having revealed the ending. This way if they choose they can then watch the episode first before reading your comment. That is the proper way to make such comments as yours.
@@larrywhited3070 a better approach is for you not to read any comments till after watching the video. expect that all comments will be potential spoilers as you refered to the above comment. i myself enjoy peoples commentary and discussion about the video. and expect that to include discussion of details of the story.
@Larry Whited Geeze, get over yourself. A couple of days ago, I heard on a John Tesh radio program that a study had been done which indicated that people who were given "spoiler" info on a movie or book actually enjoyed the movie or book more, partly due to anticipation of the revealed part.
What a great show, back when common sense ruled our society even in Hollywood. I notice they use about 3 cars for the non-police car roles and just rotate them around episode to episode. These days they would destroy 3 cars per episode in stunts.
Car companies LOVED this show and it became a 'go to' for new car placement by season 3. After 1958 the villains, the regulars, EVERYONE all drove BRAND NEW CARS! The '58 Buick patrol car was an idea that didn't fly with the police agencies- Forty pounds of Chrome Xylophone side trim on each side was a bit too much. Lots of Melrose Bl. and Ventura Bl. (Los Angeles) locations. Cool show even with its crudeness and budget limitations. William Boyette went on to portray the supervisor in ADAM 12 a few years later.

Did anyone recognize Richard Bull who played the doctor on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and the store owner on Little House on the Prairie?

The gas station that appears in a couple of scenes near the beginning of the show was featured in the episode that by coincidence I saw right before this one entitled “Suspected Cop”. The convict’s attractive wife reminds me of a B movie version of beautiful Debbie Reynolds. She was a damn fool to get mixed up with someone of the likes of Ray Summers. If it wasn’t for her however, those two crooks would have gotten all of the loot that he has stashed but probably got busted later if in fact it was traceable as she had claimed; but how would she know as it was just payroll money, and why bother take it in the first place if it actually was. There are a lot of logistical mistakes in this episode that are too numerous to mention here. But notice how Dan Matthews after leaving his office immediately picks up Summers driving his snazzy “Big M” Mercury Montclair hardtop and then starts tailing him even though it appears from what he explains to the officer at 12:45 using the HWP wall map that he is around two hundred miles from where Summers lives. I would imagine that the cabin area where the filming took place was somewhere up in the Griffith Park area, but I could be wrong.10-4
Early '50's toon cars, fedoras, trench coats, clean shaven men, decked out dames and bloodhound Dan Mathews........... What more could one ask for............?
Look @ 3:56 when YOU get home from PRISON and you have a BABE of a wife like THAT waiting on you and she drops to her KNEES in fro of your know man chair! Maaaaan! It's ON. Don't be a crub hahahaahah.
It got a lot to with camera angles in them days it cost more for longs shots and zooms and stuff.. that's why sometimes your notice that the windows have been remove to clarify a picture.
This was a good episode. No one died. I still see the people sliding in and out of the passenger side of their vehicles on most episodes. I never saw my parents do that. I was between 8 and 12 watching HP. Any one know a reason why it was done? Even odd for the movie industry to do it. This area looks like Griffith Park. The more I watch HP, the more fun I have identifying places I recognize. Growing up in the SF Valley helps and driving around in the 60's does too.
I'm sure a director from back then could tell you why they slid across the seats. Also maybe why they often didn"t say "good buy" at the end of phone convetsations.
Stephen, Actually a lot of folks did do that, enter on the passenger side and slide across. I had a 1950 Ford F2 ( pick up, they didn't use the F100 until 1955 I think) And it only had a key lock on the passenger side of the truck. So you would lock the driver side, slide across get out the passenger side to lock the truck.
Ray Sommers must have gotten nailed by the shower gang in the slammer cause with that woman we would have been busting springs as soon as we got in the door after a long dry five years.
NPCs Can’t Laugh 1950’s television would have never even implied anything sexual. A man and wife couldn’t even be shown sleeping in the same bed together. That is why there was always two beds in any bedroom scene.
@@chrisj197438 HP always had beautiful women and flirted with inuendo and quite a few softcore female bondage scenes. Pretty hot for 1950's television!
By and large the episodes were good, despite the budget. Credit the directors, B-movie stalwarts like Herb Strock, Lew Landers and Paul Guilfoyle. And the acting was above average. It’s fun to try and spot the B-movie regulars and upcoming actors like Clint Eastwood, Dyan Cannon, Stuart Whitman, and Robert Conrad. Not every episode was a gem, but overall the series was entertaining.
They must have used the same roads/streets with some other episode with this one as I recognized the gas station at 2:58 appeared in some other episode. Must have filmed in winter as So. Cal usually rains more in the winter.
I simply L-O-V-E Highway Patrol with Brod. Crawford as Dan Matthews! My family and I watched these shows when I was a little girl, enjoyed them, and I'm so glad to see them again now as an elderly widow in my 70s!
This episode was made in 1957. Just four years later the actor playing the Highway Patrol radio dispatcher (Stewart Whitman) went on to star in the British-made movie "The Mark" - which garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in 1961. He didn't win, despite the critical acclaim he received. Even so, it established him as a Hollywood movie star who went on to costar in other movies with some of the biggest stars of that period.
Back in the day, when such robberies were common, large cash payrolls were covered by insurance and in cases such as this the insurance company's PI's would be on this con's trail the minute he left the pen.
It's a rainy day; everyone is wearing a trench coat and windshield wipers are going. No reason to roll up the windows on the cars, though; it's fun to ride around on wet cloth seats. Then, when Dan decides to tail Summers, he pulls out of the side road right behind the crook's Pontiac. For some reason, that Pontiac is waiting for him to catch up, parked in the middle of the right lane. Finally, Dan does what no other police officer ever does, he fires a warning shot in the air with his trusty .38. Good thing there aren't a lot of houses about the area because that bullet's coming down somewhere.
Jack, That's true about the gun shot, I have shot warning shots before and always in the ground so if necessary I could prove where the round went. Good catch
One of my favorite episodes because the bad guy listened to his wife and returned the money he stole. He even stood up to the other bad guy, which took a lot of courage since the other man had a gun and was threatening the woman.
Great to see these classic cars rolling with no computers to muck up the works, and the shop cost of professional repairs u can fix yourself if u choose.
I believe that officer 2830 is Leonard Nimoy. Leonard died in 2015 at age 83. This was his final tweet a few days before his death: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP" (LLAP = Live Long and Prosper) Watching this episode from 1957, the streets, cars and buildings gave me a feeling of Nostalgia for when the world used to look like this to the happy and healthy five year old me.
Ok! @ 14:26 here is a couple TRYING to go straight and highway patrol is taking their the me to protect them, but they have always been so quick to catch a crook.
Somehow, this episode is on twice, as 101 and 102. I like the ones where a guy turns a new leaf. This man’s wife was a true angel. I know of a couple like that. Man’s wife waited for him during his prison term. He now runs a ministry for others.

Back in the day, when such robberies were common, large cash payrolls were covered by insurance and in cases such as this the insurance company's PI's would be on this con's trail the minute he left the pen.
So, your partner hides to loot, and you put him in to the police before YOU know where it is.
Man's not very bright.
One of these days I'm gonna own the complete highway patrol series.
It's a rainy day; everyone is wearing a trench coat and windshield wipers are going. No reason to roll up the windows on the cars, though; it's fun to ride around on wet cloth seats. Then, when Dan decides to tail Summers, he pulls out of the side road right behind the crook's Pontiac. For some reason, that Pontiac is waiting for him to catch up, parked in the middle of the right lane. Finally, Dan does what no other police officer ever does, he fires a warning shot in the air with his trusty .38. Good thing there aren't a lot of houses about the area because that bullet's coming down somewhere.
Jack,
That's true about the gun shot, I have shot warning shots before and always in the ground so if necessary I could prove where the round went.
Good catch
One of my favorite episodes because the bad guy listened to his wife and returned the money he stole. He even stood up to the other bad guy, which took a lot of courage since the other man had a gun and was threatening the woman.
The stories don't always make sense, but it is fast paced.
I just love watching this show!! 😍 Thank you for posting!
The guy who got ripped off Mr Gordon was 1 of 2 look alike armed robbers who knocked off candy stores on a dragnet episode.
Good one!! The first TV program I saw as a kid in the 50s.
Broderick Crawford is A-OK.
I prefer HAPPY ENDINGS. Where the bad guy gets shot, fatally, by the cops.
Ha! If Dan fired his pistol in Griffith Park in 2019, they would have his badge!
Yeah. A cop has to apologize in advance if he even asks a suspect a question.
Euro 101 Saved.

Good ol' fashioned smokey exhaust pipes and a '57 Ford Fairlane!
Ha, and that Pontiac was one plug ugly car.
I can't get over the opening scene where the car is on or over the center line...
I fell in love with this series. Yea. All new cars gr8 story lines n Mathew Broderick. The Mob. Awesome movie
I like the 54 Oldsmobile
Great to see these classic cars rolling with no computers to muck up the works, and the shop cost of professional repairs u can fix yourself if u choose.
Am I only one who associates Crawford with the song. "You're My Ever Lovin' (And I 'm Forever Lovin' You)
I believe that officer 2830 is Leonard Nimoy. Leonard died in 2015 at age 83. This was his final tweet a few days before his death:
"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP" (LLAP = Live Long and Prosper)
Watching this episode from 1957, the streets, cars and buildings gave me a feeling of Nostalgia for when the world used to look like this to the happy and healthy five year old me.
ALL was SWELL in the 50s LOL
I think that’s the Wilson golf course at the fork in the road
I think Broderick Crawford as Dan Matthews looked cute in his white coat!
A bit fat, but OK.
Woohoo i love them all thank you,

Guys who stayed out of jug have worse car than the ex con. They need the dough
Ok! @ 14:26 here is a couple TRYING to go straight and highway patrol is taking their the me to protect them, but they have always been so quick to catch a crook.
Which is it? Armed robbery or burglary?
Gorgeous ladies on Highway Patrol ,this one is no exception
5:46 Wow, matching hair styles. : )
Wow 👌.
Spirit of America 🇺🇸 & the Statue of Liberty.
Conscious & Righteous.
Extra interesting episode!
Somehow, this episode is on twice, as 101 and 102. I like the ones where a guy turns a new leaf. This man’s wife was a true angel. I know of a couple like that. Man’s wife waited for him during his prison term. He now runs a ministry for others.
Sandy Copack was a real tuff talkin' tuff guy!
That's Mr Olsen from Little House on the Prairie. From tough talking henchman to henpecked hubby!
bah humbug Good call mate! Little House is one of my favorite shows but I never would have made the Mr Olsen connection.
