So true, Sarah Shouse!!!😀I fondly remember these old cars on the show, for my father owned a pretty pastel green Pontiac, (I THINK it was a Pontiac, I was a tiny girl then) and how roomy and smooth driving that car was' unlike the "cars" now!
The women in those days dressed to flatter their slimness. Today women have to sear ugly tops and dresses to hide their ugly rolls of fat. I swear, some women look like walking tubs of lard today.
Sheila Connelly in real life was a total gold digger. She was married to Harry Danziger, Guy Madison and an actor from “Voyage to the bottom of the Sea”. The minute Guy Madison was a little short of cash after the “Wild Bill Hickok” series she divorced him and moved on to another actor. Guy Madison should of stayed married to Gail Russell, she was Gorgeous and they made a beautiful pair. Guy was my neighbor in Studio City.
Actress Sheila Connolly who played criminal Sue Hammond in this episode, looks like Liz Taylor. Sheila turned 89 on March 14, 2019 as she was born in 1930. During the time that this episode was filmed in 1959, Sheila was married to actor Guy Madison.
She was an Irish immigrant, her father a 🏇 and a horse trainer but returned to Cork, Ireland for her childhood, only coming back to the U.S. after her mother died at 35.
The actress playing the dispatcher is beautiful with a perfect voice. Troy Melton and Sue Connolly are a great Bonnie and Clyde in this episode. This was a good end to a good series and the old LA is priceless. The area is very different now.
Dragnet was the best cop show, and no one is cooler or more bad ass than Sgt. Joe Friday, best tv cop ever. But Highway Patrol sure had hot cars and hot women !!!
Oh how I miss voices like that, but especially the overall downright attractive mature femininity that is now too infrequently seen. It is amazing to me how many women in this day and age who are well past their teen years still have their little girl, nearly baby-talk, almost squeaky voices. Men haven't matured very well either...figured I better add this for clarification and fairness.
@@larrywhited3070 the little girl voice is because of male infantilizing, men still judging women on how their face and body appears, treating them like children, objects to use, so its an attempt to not upset men who might enact violence towards them...
The final episode. What a great four year ride it was. After years of syndication the show disappeared for a while in the 1980s but is now back and I think will be shown thru some sources long after we're gone. Love the bike with the sidecar.
When I was a kid, I heard stories of motorcycle sales right at the piers where WWII ships returned. Jeeps too. My grandfather had a surplus jeep on his chicken ranch in Missouri.
The robbers were running for their lives but still took the time to pack the suitcase (and fold the nightgown). The male robber's jacket looked like a policeman's jacket, it had a place on the left breast for a badge. Thanks Foxeema for posting these.
Cool camera that office has. As it turns out we don't have that much on the 1950 as far as technology. Theirs was more stable and dependable then. Good old school values too..morality, self-respect, Christian principles,honesty, decent dress code..you knew who you were then...women were women and men were men.
I know. Even the hardened criminals seem more reasonable and decent than most people now that you meet on the street (forget about those on TV, they're all bonkers).
I love old TV shows from this era, not even a married couple shared a bed, the motel room had two small singles. Now look at what we got, nothing but sleeze. Love it because I was born in that late '50s.
@@alphonsozorro7952 🥸I'm confused!..."What can we call a King size bed that now chooses to be a Queen for our new world unisex jumbo size population??? I give up!🤡
That was the law passed in the 1930’s for movies that married couples were not to be shown sharing a bed. Another was that if a couple were sitting on the same bed one had to have a foot on the floor. I don’t know exactly when that changed. You will see in early 60’s Dick van Dyke show Rob and Laura have separate beds. I think it changed in the 70’s when a big deal was made of an episode of “MacMillan and Wife” a detective show starring Rock Hudson showed them together in the same bed. That was absolutely shocking. Personally I never recovered from that. I was in college then and up to that point I believed the stork delivered babies. Honest.
Did anyone notice, the map the robbers were using and were marking up was upside down? Also, Matthews (Crawford) left his telephone receiver askew after a call, just into the 2nd half of the episode. I wonder if Broderick knew this was going to be the last episode of the series. This was a terrific find on RUclips. I saw them all now, and I thank Foxeema Classic TV 2 for posting the episodes! Maybe the other nine of them not posted can be found in the future. Thanks again! 10-4!!!!
We were clearly meant to notice the phone knocked off the hook - there must have been a reason. Perhaps they made a script mistake and the reason got edited out to fit the 25 minutes. Or maybe they were short of time for shooting and re-used a shoot for another episode and just put the correct voice recording in. The phone knocked should have been dropped in editing but perhaps they forgot.
It's amazing to see how things have changed in 60 years. Even when the precise filming locations are found on Google Street View, it's hard to make out specific details. For example, the building at 751 Figueroa (where "City Bank" appears in the show) is still standing, but is barely recognizable from the Highway Patrol image. The same holds true for other HP shows when compared to their current-day locations. Only occasionally do the images definitively match.
Things change. I have looked at houses I used to live in as a kid that still exist and they are practically unrecognizable. I remember about ten years ago trying to find a friend’s house 20 years after I had left that city. I was actually there not on Google Street View. I couldn’t recognize the house until I went around to the back yard that hadn’t changed that much. The last time I had seen that house and in fact stayed there was 1994. They had all passed on by 2012 and the new owners completely changed the exterior of the house. It wasn’t an improvement and looked better before. I knew it well. My friend’s father had built it himself in 1960. But that’s how things change.
You gotta love the etiquette in the 50s. Beauty and the beast are getting ready to do the Haskell job and the guy helps Beauty on with her coat before leaving their room! My God, what a gentleman! Even criminals knew how to treat women chivalrously back in the day.
Times were different then. Economy and Innovations were everywhere. The national Interstate system for goodness sake was being constructed. Elvis was the sensation. AC in cars; who would believe it. And automatic transmission, too! Even power brakes.WOW! What a world. TV was proliferating. Hard to keep up! Young people were the children of late depression gens or WWII veterans. The world was moving faster than the morals a lot of them had been taught. Dreams of being rich or wealthy were just that. Not a clue of how to handle or manage assets. Pouring salt on the wound, stock brokers charged a small fortune for the least service. If your parents died owning a farm or business, Uncle Sam and his nephew(whatever state you live in) were there with their hands out.
@@charlesharmon4926 You said it! Today, academia, government schools, universities, Hollywood and the tech industry teach women to hate men as oppressors. In reality, they oppress men.
Beautiful chicks and beautiful cars. And always that one last job to pull. Com'on man we got enough dough. And you have to realize by now that Dan will always have his roadblocks ready to go. You should have taken that trip to Europe long ago when you had the chance. And thank you to whoever is posting these videos. They are gold :D
What more could you ask in a police movie black and white Dodge cars, a motorcycle with a sidecar, polaroid camera, a police dispatcher with an excellent and clear voice, a sergeant who played the sergeant in another police program many many years later and the big man Broderick Crawford.
What was so good, apart from Brod, was the support actors. The bad guy and gal were really good. And the sergeant and other cops. Plus that glam blonde dispatcher. Bet all the guys were after her ! 👏👏👏👏🙋♂️🇬🇧
This was the last episode of the series. Broderick Crawford, fed up with the hectic filming schedule imposed by ZIV Productions, quit the show in order to make movies in Europe and in an effort to get more control over his drinking. He died on April 26, 1986, after suffering a series of strokes. He was 74 years old.
I love seeing old Los Angeles (50s and 60s) and the San Fernando's landscapes. My girlfriend and I play a version of "Things that aren't here anymore" on this show.
Its nice to see 31 10 off desk duty at the dispatch station and out in the field. Him Matthews and Sgt Williams are my favorite officers of the whole show
They sure informed every man woman and child fast. lol They'd have plenty of time to get away by the time it takes for a special news bulletin to be put out. It would have helped to have one play and show the motel manager hear it, then see the two pass by.
At 2:40, Broderick is such a comedian. The motorcycle and sidecar is the preferred mode of transportation for another famous TV bank robber, Black Widow from Batman.
See Highway Patrol next week!! However there was to be no " Next Week " as this was the FINAL LAST episode in the entire series.

The bank messenger was driving a 1960 Chevy. It was the first new car my dad owned. I remember I was with him when he bought it. He paid cash for it. I learned to drive with that car.
@@deanbianco4982 Not really an add on. H-Ds at that time could be ordered with transmissions that were configured for side-car or Servicar use. The normal trans had 4 forward gears for solo bikes. Police and commercial customers could order side-car and Servicar (three wheelers) rigs with the transmission configured for the extra weight (lower gearing) and would have reverse and 3 forward gears. Newer (late model) H-D with sidecars have an electric reverse that uses the starter motor as an add on.
Not uncommon in factory side car rigs. I Road a 1.000cc bike with a light side car, had to get off to push it backwards but seldom had to. They are fun to operate but can be tricky to turn to the right.
Was a great series, I used to watch it as a kid in the 50s. Matthews and the other highway patrolmen with him shot and killed crooks by the hundreds. But one thing, NO female outlaw was ever shot, not once in the entire series!
Would hate to play golf with impatient Matthews. He would rush to tee off first then jump into cart after his ball before I could get a .tee in the ground
Finally decided to watch the last episode of HP 😢 Absolutely loved this show Thanks so much to the person who made them available, but I can't find "Nitro". I need closure. To watch them all bar one is very frustrating. Any one out there, have the missing one? Loved to see the Buicks, DeSoto's and the Mercury's and Oldsmobiles.
Well said by the psychopath who got away with MURDERS....Johnny Cochrane what a super low scumbag and the Juice should have gotten the juice, like thousands of volts !
Lots to notice in this episode such as old Dan keeping his hat on in the office. If you want to look busy, be like old Dan and keep your hat on in the office, ready for a quick exit. Then when he did get to leave, notice that he knocked the phone receiver off the cradle and nobody could get through after that. Also, it looks like they reused that same black '59 Chevy 4 dr. for the second bank messenger. And no helmets on that cycle couple? Maybe there were no helmet laws back then but it seems so obviously wrong now.
I love at the end of this series when Dan said "take beauty and the beast away" Lol
Just love the old cars in this show!! So classy and well designed. Such a great show from the 50s!👍🇺🇲😀

Matthews instantly diagnoses the guy he just shot, "c'mon get up it's not that bad."
Being a crook can be hazardous to your heath.
Tis but a scratch!!
Take it easy on my shoulder who cares your going to the gas chamber fool !

The bank messenger was driving a 1960 Chevy. It was the first new car my dad owned. I remember I was with him when he bought it. He paid cash for it. I learned to drive with that car.
Didn't realize that Polaroid cameras existed that long ago, but then again, I don't remember folks getting in and out of cars from the right side.
6:51 Wow! That bike actually has a reverse gear.!!!
Ya, I saw that too.
Reverse gearing was an added-on feature for side-car-mounted motorcycles.
@@deanbianco4982 Not really an add on. H-Ds at that time could be ordered with transmissions that were configured for side-car or Servicar use. The normal trans had 4 forward gears for solo bikes. Police and commercial customers could order side-car and Servicar (three wheelers) rigs with the transmission configured for the extra weight (lower gearing) and would have reverse and 3 forward gears. Newer (late model) H-D with sidecars have an electric reverse that uses the starter motor as an add on.
Not uncommon in factory side car rigs. I Road a 1.000cc bike with a light side car, had to get off to push it backwards but seldom had to. They are fun to operate but can be tricky to turn to the right.
That's some dish at the radio.!!
Just goes to show...Kens a good shot!
They always have the same background noise of birds chirping.
Ya, those crazy birds! I thought I was the only one hearing them!
Love watching these old Dodges roaring down the highways
Was a great series, I used to watch it as a kid in the 50s. Matthews and the other highway patrolmen with him shot and killed crooks by the hundreds. But one thing, NO female outlaw was ever shot, not once in the entire series!
Oh to live in a tv show town where no crime goes unsolved.
I love how Crawford looks at the picture instead of the actual body.
Good final episode to an excellent series.
At 10:00
I had no idea that there were Polaroid cameras in the 1950's. I didn't think they came into being until the mid-60's or so.
They go back a long ways and I think I still have one in the original leather case. A collection of cameras.
This is the last episode of the series June 6, 1959... not much of an ending...
@Milton Holley I was born 4 weeks after this episode.
$60,000 in July 1959 is the equivalent of $533,500 in April 2020
@Milton Holley I do feel very fortunate....The good ole days. 😊
@@kenlucas7025 Yeah.
Enough to live large for years!

Amazing how Dan solves these crimes in 25 minutes. There should be no crime there at this rate.
My right ear enjoyed this show
Dispatcher...it was a black 1959 Chevrolet 4 door sedan..a three wheeled motorcycle following
I have never been on a motorcycle side care, once a familiar sight, last time I saw one was in the 1970’s.
I didn't know Bill and Hillary were in the movies...That will be their demise
Brod had lost his license by this time, it's not the same not having Broderick and his Buick out on the road in pursuit.
HWP show must have boosted map sales across the country making gas stations happy
'Brand name' service stations gave away maps back then.
Nothing is ever “tax free”. Just not reported. The girl must be related to Matthews, she likes to draw on maps too.
06:46 .... Wow... a motorcycle with a reverse gear in it!
Would hate to play golf with impatient Matthews. He would rush to tee off first then jump into cart after his ball before I could get a .tee in the ground
HE LOVES HIS WALLMAPS!!!!!!!
They must have a huge supply. He writes all over them with black markers.
Great time to live in LA and Southern California.
This one filmed in 1959. Great old shows.
Finally decided to watch the last episode of HP 😢 Absolutely loved this show
Thanks so much to the person who made them available, but I can't find "Nitro". I need closure. To watch them all bar one is very frustrating. Any one out there, have the missing one? Loved to see the Buicks, DeSoto's and the Mercury's and Oldsmobiles.

Bonnie and Clyde , sidecar edition.
How come Dan said see you next week? Wasn't this the last show?

Well said by the psychopath who got away with MURDERS....Johnny Cochrane what a super low scumbag and the Juice should have gotten the juice, like thousands of volts !
LOVE FINDING OUT WHERE, STREETS AND SCENES WERE FILMED, GOD BLESS YOU.
Probably west Hollywood hills
Lots to notice in this episode such as old Dan keeping his hat on in the office. If you want to look busy, be like old Dan and keep your hat on in the office, ready for a quick exit. Then when he did get to leave, notice that he knocked the phone receiver off the cradle and nobody could get through after that. Also, it looks like they reused that same black '59 Chevy 4 dr. for the second bank messenger. And no helmets on that cycle couple? Maybe there were no helmet laws back then but it seems so obviously wrong now.
Seatbelts were rare back then so were helmets
