I loved it.❤ He reminded me of his role as Private Investigator Marlowe, the same witty ways, 😄 his character had a compassionate side under that fast tongue, as his girl called him, that made him admirable.🤗

love Dick Powell...quick witted and that sharp tongue and those funny comebacks....í wonder if he ad-libbed some of those snappy comebacks.

I was around in '54 and I still don't remember being able to stop in the middle of the bridge for a chit chat before jumping, and making a U-turn; also $50 ain't what it use to be ...but enjoyed the story anyhow.(ls)

LOL...well of course television has to have some creative license for our entertainment. As far as $50 in 54', as I throw it into the old inflation calculator (for those interested), $50 in 1954 has the same buying power as $458.22 in 2018. WOW.

just like today - news WITH opinions! Actually, the news is often boring but the opinion is worthless!

[@angloaust1575]

Humphrey bogart type
Cynical but compassionate!

[@lindamcdermott2205]

Dick Powells character too much!
