In 1972 Broderick Crawford & I were staying at the same hotel. He was kind enough to give me directions to a Hollywood restaurant we were going to. He gave the directions the same way he gave orders on this show. I was tempted to say 10-4 when he was done but just thanked him & went on our way lol
Actress Lorraine Dell Wood who played the dispatcher, sure was easy on the eyes. According to IMDb, she played the dispatcher on 6 episodes of Highway Patrol with no credits for any other tv shows or movies. With her looks, I would have thought she would have had more parts in tv shows and movies.
Plus she had one non speaking role (at the award ceremony for the young man in the episode "License Plates") She may have been a ZIV employee or ??? Others who appeared on the show didn't have much of a career after HP. Most of Lorraine's appearances she did have decent screen time. Also there is no birth or death dates on her so it's possible she could have died very young and not had time to kick off an acting career.
Muffs 55mercury, I found some more info about her and tried to post a link. Unfortunately, the platform deleted it. Anyway, there is another page about her, but it uses a slightly alternate spelling of her name. Search Laraine Dell Wood. Sometimes spelled Lorraine Del Wood. It doesn't list HP in her credits, but she was in Hollywood and involved in the movie industry during the time that it was being filmed, so apparently it's the same person. I'll try adding another reply to see if I can get you the page.
When I saw this on TV a year or two ago, I would have sworn the actor playing Fred, the male villain, was Harvey Korman. He's actually William McGraw. Judy Lewis, who played Honey, was the "adopted" daughter of Loretta Young, who later admitted that Judy was her actual daughter by Clark Gable. I thought Ms. Lewis was excellent in this.
*As someone else pointed out (4 years earlier) the actress who played the cold-blooded female scam artist (Judy Lewis) was the daughter of actor Clark Gable. Her performance was quite good, which is why I looked up her background. A real surprise, finding out who her dad was.*
You know I was just thinking, when this show was on the air, Alaska & Hawaii were becoming States,and Live TV wasn't yet invented,and man hadn't yet walked on the moon. We were just beginning to orbit the Earth. No satellites, nothing like we have today. Amazing once we achieved all those, technology seemed to explode. Back then more homes had TV's than had Telephones.
there was more live TV then than now. and the "live TV" now may be taped "live" but broadcast later... most of the live TV of the 50s is lost because video tape was not yet available, some of the live shows were filmed from the tv image .....
First television signals sent over the air was in 1914, by the early 1930 we had television stations in New York, and in Germany the 1936 Summer Olympic Games were broadcast on television form opening to closing ceremonies. All done as "live" as they come.
"No satellites"? Though Plymouth would not launch their Satellite until 1965, the USSR launched Sputnik on October 04, 1957. The U.S. sent its first, 'Explorer 1', on Jan. 31, 1958. By the time the last episode of Highway Patrol originally aired June 29, 1959, there had been successful launches of 4 Russian and 11 U.S. satellites. Alaska became a U.S. state on January 03, 1959, though the 49th star was added to the U.S. flag on July 04. Hawai'i was admitted August 21, 1959, the 50th star added to the flag on July 04, 1960.
Ma Davis, played by Actress Terry Blake has no bio on the Internet. If anyone has any information on her, it would be nice for them to supply her birth and death dates. I was able to find that she also played on one episode of Mr. Ed too. In a book written by Barbara Payton, entitled: "I am Not Ashamed", she mentioned that the part for Mr. Ed called for Terry Blake to faint while watching an operation. While in the waiting room, waiting to be interviewed, she screamed and faked her fainting spell so convincingly that the others who were there waiting to be interviewed called an ambulance. She got the part. :)
@@jasonsan9517 Yes, there are cops committing atrocities. Temptation to evil assails us all. But we must not treat all policemen badly because of a few. The goal must be to weed out the ones who do evil, not to destroy the whole profession. We still need the police because there are still people everywhere doing evil things.
Obviously an accomplice ! And Sgt. Joe Friday is the coolest and most bad ass cop there ever was, or ever will be.....just the facts !! But Highway Patrol had cool cars - and hot women 😉
Great episode. As a LA native it's hard for me to point out exactly where the locations were. The orange groves were more than likely Chatsworth, California, just outside the Spahn Movie Ranch. They used that location before and I was able to see the street signs for that episode. However, they mentioned "Larchmont" in the show which is an older up-scale shopping area in LA- before the malls. Larchmont is only a few blocks long and its almost all retail. It was blocks away from the studio where they filmed so that might be the location for the restaurant and other stores. Anyone recognize any of the businesses from 1958? I was born that year!
Same year for me too! Thanks for the great information. Only visited Berkley, CA as a family back in 1963. A great trip...CA was a beautiful state with so many places to see!
8814 Reseda Blvd, Northridge, LA as Hochman Hardware Store 8827 Reseda Blvd, Northridge, LA as The Bigg Jewlery Store N Larchmont Blvd & W 1st St, Windsor Square, LA was a hot spot during the silent era.
@@Zebra_3 Interesting - I couldn't place the busy street. I thought it may have been La Brea Ave, but Reseda out in the Valley would have looked similar at the time.
What is truly amazing is that after the man shot her they kept talking while the phone was still connected to the Highway Patrol! Talk about dumb criminals!
@@danruble1894 Plymouth never had a Hemi until 1964. Plymouth Fury base engine for this 1958 model year was 318 CID V-8 but could be optioned with a 350 CID V-8 (not to be confused with Chevy's) and the only year for this 350. The 350 was the ancestor to 361's, 383's and 400's.
I love this show.... because it is so damn goofy. G-o-o-f-y. I was there during the first run on TV..... and no one we knew acted so wacky. The people... the cops... what a disaster. Which is why i love it more than ever!
That grove is near present day Santa Ana most likely as they did a lot of filming there. It's hard to believe that much of LA was surrounded by citrus groves then. Now that land is completely developed with homes, office bldgs,and freeways......
I think these Highway Patrol cops got a good racket going. They have everyone programmed to say "Give me the Highway Patrol!" whenever they dial the operator.
I used to eat at ma Davis diner as a lil shaver! I remember Ma saying , Eat all of your eggplant so you'll grow big and strong! Man was she right, I grew up to be a sandhog !
Criminals were really stupid then. Murders like that would almost certainly get them the electric chair. Not like now where in some states they can be out in 20 years. Brod's voice is really gravelish and he looks tired in this one so he may have had a few too many. (???) For car lovers like me this episode has lots of street traffic to show many. The pretty dispatcher is Lorraine Dell Wood who appeared in six episodes, plus one non speaking role (at the award ceremony for the young boy in the episode "License Plates") She had no other acting credits (hopefully she didn't die really young or suddenly) A real cutie !!
Not much different than todays stickups were a couple of kids with a gun stick up a convenience store and panic shooting the cashier only to find no cash in the till. Only difference is they usually run off in crappy Japanese cars instead of something really cool like these 1950's finned beauties.
You just committed a murder, and yet you are going to stay in the same area and continue operations?? And on the same day! And these people are supposed to be professionals?? Only rank amateurs would be that stupid. Sometimes audacity can work, but when you are potentially facing Murder 1 charges, common sense and discretion take over. Otherwise it's the California gas chamber.....The intuitive capacities of Brod and William Boyett are truly impressive.....ace crime fighters!
Brian Salomon I know. I started school in 1966 so when they came out with computer dating, we ALL laughed. These gift cards to me, it says, Here I don't know you well enough nor do I care, buy what you want. Then these cards make it easier for the scammers to scam. It would be extremely hard for me to be scammed. When they call from "Microsoft" and tell me they have been getting error messages from my computer I play with them and the longest I had a scammer on the phone was 30 minutes before he finally started cussing me out. You know, I don't get many phone calls any more. I have messed with the scammers so much, I think maybe they put my number on their Do Not Call Lists. haha
Brian Salomon That's good too. I do believe the scammers have my number on a Do Not Call list and sent it around. haha I don't get the scam calls like I used to get since I started messing with them. haha Sometimes I'm bored and it's fun.
The era of magnificent automobile styling...and ridiculous scripted television serials . How to solve the crime within 26 mins. must have been a real obstacle for the producers . ...but as you can see it wasn't impossible even though it was ridiculous.
Maybe but a lot of early TV serials were just extensions of the old radiio serials, and those were often in 15minute formats.They tended to us a lot of narration to speed up the story that would normally be too long.
Marc Toscano radio show like Jonny Dollar (u-tube ) Thanks to all you guys writing these comments , 🤣 it makes it all even better 😃 all great , this really is the best 👍
That was the way it was done. In fact, almost every old car only has a key slot on the passenger door, not the driver door. Remember, there were still a lot of dirt streets but paved sidewalks, so it was customary to exit or climb into the car on the sidewalk/passenger side. All cars had a bench seat, and that's the way it was done until right about when the show was shot (mid to late 1950's). I'll bet (haven't looked yet) that all of the cars in the show have key slots on the driver doors. Things were changing fast in the automotive world. European cars had bucket seats, and in 1958 (per google) they started to appear on the American cars, so you'd need to have a key slot on the driver door!
Hilarious ! The cops are leaving their fingerprints ALL over the evidence ! This series has always been a total comedy from day one !! Many laughs then, and still today !!!
I was born in the late 1940s and watched Highway Patrol as a grade schooler! The shows weren't supposed to be all gory and bloody as shows today because many of us youngsters watched it, and Brod Crawford was our hero!!! I'm an elderly lady now, but I still watch the shows and enjoy them enormously!
You might get the idea that these criminal types kinda like the idea of going to the chair! And what's with this flicking of their guns when they shoot? All the 50's shows seem to do this, almost as if they think it makes the bullets go faster or something. I would think aiming the damn thing would be a little more important than style!
When we were Kids (50's) we thought that was how you shot a hand gun. Cowboys did it too. I'd love to know how Hollywood thought that was how it was done. This show is so Hooky it's funny and I have to keep watching episodes. Big difference from how I viewed it as a kid....
Still do it! To this day (often) nobody can come close to hitting anything including the "barn door"! The same thing with holding the damn gun perpendicular to the target.
The armed sidekick copper here later played station-wagon-driving boss in LAPD in NBC-TV's ADAM-12 series. No one to root for in this episode as both sides are nasty and ruthless.
I have news for you. Criminals are evil, and the only way the good guys can put down evil is through the greater application of precisely the same means evil seeks to employ - BRUTE FORCE.

Back when California was a great place to live, fast forward 2023 not so much. Today it's govt serves not the people but complete Insanity lol.
I believe she was told around 1965 that Gable was her father. By then he'd been dead for five years.

Damn the script to hell!
EDIT: AND DAMN RUclips TO HELL FOR SUPPRESSING THE "1 REPLY " TWO THE COMMENT.
They may have shot Ma accidentally.............twice
Larchmont. . Nice LA area. Upscale.
They are playing this one today. They call saying they are the IRS, police & someone has been arrested, etc.'Tis all the same.
Brian Salomon I know. I started school in 1966 so when they came out with computer dating, we ALL laughed. These gift cards to me, it says, Here I don't know you well enough nor do I care, buy what you want. Then these cards make it easier for the scammers to scam. It would be extremely hard for me to be scammed. When they call from "Microsoft" and tell me they have been getting error messages from my computer I play with them and the longest I had a scammer on the phone was 30 minutes before he finally started cussing me out. You know, I don't get many phone calls any more. I have messed with the scammers so much, I think maybe they put my number on their Do Not Call Lists. haha
Brian Salomon That's good too. I do believe the scammers have my number on a Do Not Call list and sent it around. haha I don't get the scam calls like I used to get since I started messing with them. haha Sometimes I'm bored and it's fun.

@@helenkruse I told one I was from North Korea and they asked how I was able to immigrate to America.. I tell them I was kidnapped and they hang up!
The era of magnificent automobile styling...and ridiculous scripted television serials . How to solve the crime within 26 mins. must have been a real obstacle for the producers . ...but as you can see it wasn't impossible even though it was ridiculous.
Maybe but a lot of early TV serials were just extensions of the old radiio serials, and those were often in 15minute formats.They tended to us a lot of narration to speed up the story that would normally be too long.
Marc Toscano radio show like Jonny Dollar (u-tube )
Thanks to all you guys writing these comments , 🤣 it makes it all even better 😃 all great , this really is the best 👍
Boy that cop is tough. Licking that heroin
Please tell me why every body gets out of the wrong sides of their cars in every episode. It's ridiculous.
cars use to have bench seats you could across from one door to the other
Safety issue
That was the way it was done. In fact, almost every old car only has a key slot on the passenger door, not the driver door. Remember, there were still a lot of dirt streets but paved sidewalks, so it was customary to exit or climb into the car on the sidewalk/passenger side. All cars had a bench seat, and that's the way it was done until right about when the show was shot (mid to late 1950's). I'll bet (haven't looked yet) that all of the cars in the show have key slots on the driver doors. Things were changing fast in the automotive world. European cars had bucket seats, and in 1958 (per google) they started to appear on the American cars, so you'd need to have a key slot on the driver door!
To face the camera
They probably get up on the wrong side of the bed every morning.
Was that jewelry store owner the same guy who played the prospector who found the stolen money?
No
HP always had hot looking dispatchers.
Dan said they may have shot the older lady by accident. Twice??
oops oops.
Bang! Oops! Bang! Oops, I did it again!"
Hardware guy was Grolierler crook in another episode
Grolierler? Is that French?
In episode # 24 called Dan's vacation
@@jacquesgervais1713 double cross
Judy Lewis, said to be the daughter of Loretta Young and Clark Gable, was a very pretty lady!
How did she gets two shots in her and how did the dispatcher hear two shots and the guy only fired one shot?
First shot @ 2:27 and second shot @ 2:31
Hilarious ! The cops are leaving their fingerprints ALL over the evidence ! This series has always been a total comedy from day one !! Many laughs then, and still today !!!
I was born in the late 1940s and watched Highway Patrol as a grade schooler! The shows weren't supposed to be all gory and bloody as shows today because many of us youngsters watched it, and Brod Crawford was our hero!!! I'm an elderly lady now, but I still watch the shows and enjoy them enormously!
You might get the idea that these criminal types kinda like the idea of going to the chair! And what's with this flicking of their guns when they shoot? All the 50's shows seem to do this, almost as if they think it makes the bullets go faster or something. I would think aiming the damn thing would be a little more important than style!
When we were Kids (50's) we thought that was how you shot a hand gun. Cowboys did it too. I'd love to know how Hollywood thought that was how it was done. This show is so Hooky it's funny and I have to keep watching episodes. Big difference from how I viewed it as a kid....
Correctomundo, cave boy! More than how they shoot is how damn much they do shoot!
@@smokineagle3160 - right you are big guy. Freaking GOOFY. But we loved it --- way back to the first run on TV!
Still do it! To this day (often) nobody can come close to hitting anything including the "barn door"! The same thing with holding the damn gun perpendicular to the target.
Judy Lewis, love child of Clark Gable and Loretta Young
The gangsta lady sure looks like Loretta Young, who my mom was a big fan of.
Woudn't it be nice to have a faithful loyal girl friend like that to knock over small businesses with. The '57 Plymouth ragtop wouldn't hurt either.
'58 that is.
The Highway Patrol does not investigate murders.
The armed sidekick copper here later played station-wagon-driving boss in LAPD in NBC-TV's ADAM-12 series. No one to root for in this episode as both sides are nasty and ruthless.
both sides? What did the police do wrong?
I have news for you. Criminals are evil, and the only way the good guys can put down evil is through the greater application of precisely the same means evil seeks to employ - BRUTE FORCE.
