Sandy Collins (Michael Monroe, born Jonathan Brink) passed away in 2010. He never married and enjoyed taking many trips to Egypt. Rayford Barnes, who played George Willis died in 2000. Eddie Foy III who played Jack Willis is 81 years of age and the son of Vaudeville performer Eddie Foy Jr. who was the son of actor Eddie Foy Sr. born Edwin Fitzgerald. Ed Nash, who was played by Edmund Cobb Jr., was the grandson of Edmund Ross, the Governor of the territory of New Mexico and the Senator of Kansas. He died in 1974 at the age of 82.
Many who were on this show didn't go on to bigger things but others did. Rayford Barnes, the thug with the hat had a 40+ year career mostly on TV which I didn't know until quite recently as I missed a lot of his parts thru the years.
I was born in 1954 so I saw my first episode around 1959 or 1960. After they discontinued making new episodes, they ran them on one of our independent stations for about 12 years. Even as a kid, I was not a great deal into kid things & preferred shows such as this, westerns, Andy Griffith, etc.
Mark Muffs Unfortunately, we were never shown the reruns of this show here in Connecticut in the 1960s or the 1970s. I never knew it existed until I ran into it, by accident, while on RUclips.
That really sucks but that was likely common in some areas. After they quit running the reruns in the early 1970s, I never saw any until 1986 when Broderick Crawford passed away and a TV station aired the first two or three episodes. Those were all I had for a while until home taped VHS recordings started popping up from collectors in the late 80s, early 90s. I finally bought the complete dvd set a couple years ago and love them to no end. In my house, me and the girlfriend are lost in the 50s to the 70s and we like it that way.
Watching Mr. Mathews & the Patrolman "corner" the bad guy at the end was a riot ! If the Patrolman was gonna "draw his fire" while Mathews snuck up on him at the front of the car -- from all of about 3 feet ! -- they were both lucky they didn't get nailed ! Another arrest by the legendary HIGHWAY PATROL ... wow ! But looking back, this was one of the most watched shows of the late '50s, and deservedly so !
Well I know you and I are around the same age! I had a "hand-cranked" 8mm camera that you had to "flip" the spools in darkness to make a really short film! Fond memories for a kid!
Mathews may have been hard as brass knucks but he often shows compassion for the victims. He was also one smart cop, in this case knowing right off it was an inside job. I've always said that all the modern tech gadgets may be nice but they get too much credit. There's just no substitute for good old fashioned police work.
@@josephjames259 Another fantasy. "Illegals" are their because the US economy needs them for low paid jobs. Yeah, there are a lot of Americans on dole, because the capitalist system wants them that way too.
Alphonso Zorro it’s not a fantasy. My family was doing those kinds of jobs in the 1960s. It was work or starve in those days. You don’t know what you are talking about.
@@josephjames259 You nailed, it Joe. Alphonso is mad at the world. He is correct in one respect. American businessmen love cheap labor. Republicans all.
+John A. This kind of stuff happens a lot mostly in the form of human smuggling but I'm sure this robbery scenario has happened in the past. A 1959 episode touches on the smuggling and they do use Mexico as the location.
$200 a month (this was filmed in late 1956) was no small chunk of change. Of course it wasn't riches either but it was worth $2020 in 2022 dollars. Robbing from poor or struggling people like this was really low. Actor Rayford Barnes (the shooter) was in two other episodes both as no goods. "License Plates" in season 1 and "Credit Card" in season 3. Good dialogue as always such as "you furnish the victims, they had the guns".
I wonder how many .38 blanks were used during the filming of HWP? 100's? 1000's? 100's of 1000's...? And not one story of an actor accidentally shooting a co-worker...
I've watched a lot of these episodes. I keep waiting for one of the cars to not start. I think that's because the engine seems to take longer to turn over than a modern vehicle. Maybe that's just me?
Always blows my mind. Can you describe the car. White convertible with the top down. No make or model. Tops can be put up quickly. Can’t do better than that?
Well, in SETTINGS it sez for this episode 480p. However, upon closer inspection, this resolution here barely hits 100 lines, so 100p oi under. This is definitively worse than anything you would get from Standard 8 mm film, and a lot worse than VHS quality. This is a crying shame if you have ever seen pristine telecine or scan transfer of the show from the 35mm negatives and broadcast positive prints Skipping this one for sure..
Can anyone tell me why the robbers are escaping in their '56 Plymouth Station Wagon going backward ? The driver is pretty good. From 5:27 to 5:34 he really goes fast backing up on that small road.
@@jacquesgervais1713 I know. It wasn't visible from where the victims were. The crooks knew they were going to leave by going down that road to stay out of sight. They should have parked the way the cop car did when they were figuring out the crime. If the crooks had done that, they wouldn't have had to back all the way down the road.
@@NotaVampyre111 I agree. Whether parked frontward or backward the whole car was not visible by the crooks and as they knew/planned they were going to leave by going down that road then what was their thinking ?
@@jacquesgervais1713 There's one simple answer, the writers of the series messed up. I like it though. It makes the show feel more real because everything is not all sterile and perfect. Mistakes are made and there are consequences.
. Still don't think there is organized crime in the country. That wasn't too organized. Ha... special delivery stamp...gonna get it in a couple hours...drops into regular mail box... Special delivery ended in 1959
Broderick Crawford had about the best commanding voice I ever heard. And he was a big star in the late 40s and 50s.
Remember that Broderick Crawford won 1950 Best Actor Oscar over all the great stars including John Wayne.
He was under rated as far as I am concerned, much better than good!!
What a fine series this was.Thank you for Highway Patrol.
Superb shows. Our parents and Grandparents were lucky to have lots of shows like this

Crawford is a comic genius!
"My mother would be sick too, locked in a coin locker."
or when he says 'yeah they furnished the guns' you furnished the victims'.

9:48 "That's a special delivery stamp." "I want him to get it in a couple of hours." Hahahahahahaha.
nice '56 Plymouth sport suburban station wagon
Damn this looks like it was filmed with an 8mm home movie camera.
You are right, this is the worst HP film I have ever seen.

Mark Muffs That’s the truth-- nothings not like good police work and using ones brain!
That and a favorable script.
What's this...Americans doing jobs that Americans won't do !!!
patriot patriot There was no mechanism for them to sit at home with cable tv and a $500 phone while collecting government benefits. Work or starve.

Man, that one bad guy sure saw that cop's gun from a LONG way off, given the speed he was moving. Great eyes...
We need programs like this now
Stealing from people who have nothing is really despicable!
Very low and mean, chickenshit too.
False car descríbers crocodile tears 😶
It’s democratic.
See Bret Favre.
I grew up watching these oldies after school then, yup, it was black & white but nobody was complaining !
Yes, film quality not very good, but in a way it makes it even more interesting.
I like it better.
200 dollars was good money then.
The minimum wage was $160 a month starting in 1955.
The uniformed officer with Matthews has also been on a few other episodes. That actor also played Mrs. Robinson's husband in 'The Graduate.'
The good old days, when you were paid in cash.
And you couldn't argue about how much you got paid, because there was no record.
@@skydiverclassc2031 You couldn't argue because you were an illegal, and didn't want Immigration on your trail.
I think the bad guys are driving a 1956 Plymouth Station Wagon. Pretty sure this car has appeared in at least two other episodes of Highway Patrol!
The 56 Plymouth was a very popular vehicle with bad guys back in the day.

No concerns with illegal immigrant,
They weren't illegals. They were migrant workers with green cards.
So Marlon Brando look-a-like leans over the body, then raises his head as if he were pissed.

For a Fat, Middle Age Guy. Dan is a pretty good Cop
Is this a migrant worker program approved by Barrack Obeyme?
Pig
Matthews talks so fast hard to understand sometimes
Why would you say that you saw the car. Makes no sense.
to put them on the wrong trail
None of the migrant farm workers were Mexican?!?!
Poor video quality for this episode.
Yes it also seem older than the rest....as did the cars. Despite their numbering, this seems like one of the first episodes.
Migrants? From where? Minnesota?
A migrant is one who travels from place to place doing seasonal work as needed. The term has NOTHING to do with nationality. Rube.
One time I got a blood transfusion, The doner was Mathews.. Man, I had a hangover for a week.
