Thank you for uploading all of these episodes of WIllie Dante with Dick Powell. I just love watching him act - what a professional. And it's great to see all of the other great actors that were in these episodes. I really enjoy this era (1950s) of film.
@@NickvonZ Ha! On CBS Radio Mystery Theater, an episode with Ross Martin, called The 36th Man, his character said "My mother said your face is not your fortune".

Dick Powell is a smooth .operator. his tv show was gold. The policedetective is excellent recurring character among others. RIP 1904-1963 the beloved actor dick powell.
Dante's Inferno -- I can't thank you enough for these episodes, all of which I first saw when I was a kid in New York City, but I don't remember which of the networks carried it in the early '50's (well it might have been ABC, Channel 7 in NYC). In later years I owned a Jag XK 120M coupe like the one featured with the eponymous Dante driving it in these episodes.
Great series! After the first installment was shown here a couple weeks ago, I tracked down the others. This series was tight, well paced and very entertaining. Definitely worth a second viewing.
🍕🍕🍕🍿🧈🧂🥤Thank you sir , I have watched 2 of these . I will be watching this 2 hour video this evening and I know I will enjoy it . Happy weekend . Always nice to see you and hear your introduction . 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕👍❤
TCM was the Gold Standard when Robert Osborne was hosting, but I do put a lot of effort in the Movie Class segments. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
"...an astonishing 91 contracted cancer..." - ya think!? 130 miles from Nevada's nuclear testing area, with wind direction towards filming site bringing contaminants even 5yrs later. St. George (Utah) equally contaminated 60yrs after tests concluded, but have to do your own research to uncover real stats.
I can't believe Dick Powell was originally a singer/dancer in musicals...back in the studio era you had to be a triple threat. Actors today got nothing on actors from this era.
Hi BD 🍕a total of eight were produced. I haven’t been able to locate “broadcast quality” prints of the other 3 yet. You can watch them on YT, but they look awful. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕
They make out like the making of the Conqueror was the cause of their deaths and it well could have been a contributing factor, it certainly makes a good story, but the 3 stars mentioned(Wayne,Hayward and Powell) were also all 4 pack a day smokers, they were doomed to getting cancer anyway, but that is not a story anyone wants to hear, is it?
@@rehab5355 Well I don't know but if I was a betting man(and I am) I would like to bet 88 of them were also smokers (I actually think all 89 of them were probably also smokers but leaving a margin of error), just saying that you can read what you want into statistics, there is a great quote about it I think it goes something like , "Lies, damn lies and statistics" statistics is just another word for lies unless you understand all the facts behind them The greatest Drug cartel in history was the Tobacco companies(still are) and Hollywood was always in bed with them until it became illegal to advertise pushing drugs, watch all of these old movies and TV shows and you will see subliminal advertising of Cigarettes, it has ZERO to do with the plot, but all the stars lit up on screen whether they smoked in real life or not because they had to, Big tobacco was paying their pay check! Dick Powel did it all the time, so did John wayne, they were in essence drug pushers and that cannot be denied, sure it was legal at the time but it was ALWAYS immoral.....Audie Murphy always refused to partake in it cos it set a bad example for young kids, as they say in the classics "just the facts ma'am, just the facts!"
@@richardriker566 half of Hollywood back in those days died of cancer, they weren't all in THAT movie, billions of people around the world died of cancer caused by cigarettes....and they are still dying and people like Dick Powell, John Wayne must share some of the the blame, they made cigarettes look like what the tough guys did, there was never any need to smoke on screen....but they all did, because that was how to push drugs/cigarettes, Hollywood was in bed with the biggest drug cartels the world has ever known, but it was killing them too, I am not saying that THAT movie didn't have a bearing on their deaths but Wayne and Powell had already signed their own death warrant long before "The Conqueror was ever even thought of, you can't smoke 4 packs a day....and live happily ever after! but believe what you want, you could be right, coincidences do happen
I liked those cheesy films Powell made with ruby Keeler. I really didn’t think she was that great of a dancer though. Looked like she was stomping on insects on the floor.
I agree with you Powell was very talented. on the other hand Ruby Keeler was cute and made a sweet couple with Powell but lacked tallent. She made it thanks to her Hollywood influential first husband Al Jolson the Jazz man himself. He made it possible for her.
I don't think it's great, he forces you to watch LOUD commercials while you're settling in on an old b/w drama and content falling asleep then annoying loud unrelated commercial intrudes! Won't watch pizza flicks anymore
I’m able to watch RUclips through my tablet on my tv with a Chromcast device. My device is a few years old and cost $35.00. I do get a few commercials that are very short. And not loud at all. I loath commercials. That’s why I don’t watch regular tv.

Dick Powell was one of the greats! Multi talented for sure. I love Four Star Playhouse and Richard Diamond. As always, you are appreciated!
That’s my favorite role of his!
I just started listening to Richard Diamond and Dick Powell is excellent in it.😁
This was pretty good - Jack Benny cameo was cool. Thanks for my introduction to Dick Powell.
Loved this, have to find more in the series!
Thanks!!
The biography you presented is as good as the excellent film!
I've never seen these. Wonderful Dick Powell! Thank you!
I enjoy how you give actors history.
Wow. I love your channel. Thanks for this Dick Powell tribute.

Thank You For Sharing The History Of Dick Powell. Very Impressive To Say The Least ! Excellent Presentation !
Thanks Texas Joe 🍕
Great touch with Jack Benny!
☺️
@PizzaFlix Thanks for these five tv segments. What a treat to watch the snappy come-backs by Willie Dante (Dick Powell). I RoccoMend it.
I will always remember him for his radio shows, Richard Diamond and Rogue's Gallery. Diamond is among the top OTR dramas.
One of my favorites
TV’s “Dick Powell’s Zane Grey’s Theater”-“out of the West…” Solid entertainment!
The more I watch the more I like Dante.
I used to own these 4 episodes. Great they're on RUclips! Thanks!!
A excellent picture for a Friday night movie 👍👍👍🤷♂️
Great stuff! Thx
Dick Powell. No one better.
Great actor. Dick Powell was amazing on radio
Yes! Richard Diamond and Rogue are awesome
I've been told I have the perfect face for radio!
@@NickvonZ Ha! On CBS Radio Mystery Theater, an episode with Ross Martin, called The 36th Man, his character said "My mother said your face is not your fortune".
@@ST-cy6we I'd have to RESPECT anything Ross Martin said! Artemis Gordon! 😀

I enjoy the way host introduces the film, it's cool.
Wow, that’s a good episode. 20,000 was a lot of money in 1952 when you could buy a new car for $900.
Dick Powell certainly was the best
Great intro and great channel. Film Noir lives!
Then again, the old Dante conceived of seven levels of hell. Lawyers at the bottom.
He seems like a great actor.

loved it
Witty, love it.
Imreally enjoyed hearing about Dick Powell's career .Thank you you were better than TCM.

Howard Duff also played Dante. Blake Edwards created a similar character for the tv show Mr. Lucky.
The Organization 1969 and Redcap 1964 tv series can you upload them plz thanks?👍
That’s a young Richard Jaeckel
It's Jack Benny at 1:00:39!
☺️
Who is the coffee kid? Did he become a famous actor when he got older?
I can't believe Dick Powell was originally a singer/dancer in musicals...back in the studio era you had to be a triple threat. Actors today got nothing on actors from this era.
This is great! Are u the guy who did the tribute to that great rivalry "Damascus and Dr. Fager"?
Are there more of these episodes?

Does anybody know if that was regis Toomey as the detective in the first episode?
“Hit me” “I’d love to “ :)
Never knew it God rest they're souls
💛
Sooooo much better than the Powell produced short lived series starring the great Howard Duff. It just wasn't his part though.
He lacked GRAVITAS
Anybody recognize the pianist or the music, etc.?

What about the other 89 who died of cancer...not that i'm defending 4 bloody packs a day....that'll do it too!

Just under half the cast of that movie died of cancer. That stat. makes if pretty obvious it wasn't the cigarettes that killed them.
