- The GOLDEN AGE of TELEVISION: This episode, originally from season 3 of the anthology series Four Star Playhouse, was first broadcast by CBS on April 28, 1955. Restored and edited by PizzaFLIX with recreated titles.
Stars: Dick Powell, Jean Willes, Tristram Coffin
Created by: Blake Edwards
Former card shark Willie Dante runs a nightclub with a not-so-secret casino tucked in the back. Although it seems to be just another night at his joint, he bumps into an old flame who reveals that the party she's with wants to stick up the place. Keep an eye out for a cameo by Jack Benny.
TRIVIA: Originally created by Blake Edwards for the anthology series Four Star Playhouse in 1953~1955. Eight episodes were produced by and starred Dick Powell. The show was revisited in 1960 by producer Dick Powell as an actual TV series called "Dante," but this time starred Howard Duff and set in San Francisco instead of Los Angeles.
Dick Powell seems to be channelling Rick Blaine a little bit but carries it off with his suave charm. Good to see the wonderful Alan Mowbray as well. Jack Benny is his usual marvellous self.
Love these 4 Star Playhouse productions!
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
@@PizzaFLIX Thankyou for your kind reply.
Your channel does great work keeping these true stars alive!
indeed,just come across them tonight so watching them all with coffee's and cheese on toast
@@PizzaFLIX Say, I didn't see jack benny's name in the credits! I wonder why it wasn't there? Thanks for the upload. It's was an excellent show. 🙏
Jean Willed had great legs!!😁
Loved it. Nicely done. And Dick Powell as always charming and witty. I like all his work. Thank you.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you. 🍕
Wow, what a real treat. Two of my all time favourites in the same film. Messrs. Dick Powell and Jack Benny.
Beautiful...Dick Powell and Jack Benny, too! Such smart writing and great timing!! Why don't they make great tv like this anymore? 😭
Because,making quality TV shows takes effort.
sadly the Dick Powells and Jack Bennys just don't exist today. At least we have this!
@@VomitPinata You are right. Both irreplaceable.
They don't make tv shows like this anymore because late-stage hyper-capitalism has destroyed most of human culture. The human being and human culture were identified as threats to corporate profits. So they had to be destroyed. Sorry to break it to you.
Thanks for sharing this episode! I'm a big fan of Four Star Playhouse!!!!
This is marvelous! A mini film noir!
Really enjoy Dick Powell... everything he did . Something tells me his acting wasn't always acting, ratheri it was truly who this guy down deep could be..... COOL,
that sardonic delivery style and the wry humor make wonderful entertainment and a Jack Benny cameo for even more fun
I was laughing even before Jack opened his mouth. That's what real comedians can do to you.
Very good,
Dick Powell , he always plays a good show, whether it's
Richard Diamond or Sam Spade.
These 4 Star Playhouse episodes are pure gold! Thanks so much for uploading. Love your channel!
The one-liners are great! Smart writing! Thanks for uploading!!!
Very Entertaining !! The Classics Are Spectacular ! Thank You For Sharing.
A very satisfying drama/comedy, much better than todays series. They should have made a series of it.
TY so much for the upload, the brilliant Dick Powell, one of my favorite actors , splendid performances from Alan Mowbray & Jack Benny too, with impeccable timing & delivery of some wonderful lines, great episode. -)
This one didn't take long before I expected to see two guys walking into the night fog at the end. Very enjoyable.
Ive never saw nor heard of this.. Thanks for allowing us to see it
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.

Now there's a word you don't hear everyday!
What a fun show! Loved typical Jack Benny!!
if anyone is interested. these are from 4 Star Playhouse and the made about 8 episodes featuring this character. it went on to have it's own series called "Dante" but with a different cast. The episode above is the 1st story I believe.

I took some of the audio from this and put it into my new House tune which is now up on bandcamp. Thank you for the restoration, the credit has been put into the release.
the name I use there is Exhale, but I wont post the link here in case it is considered advertising and not welcome.
The dialogues are exquisite.
Thanks. Great characters actors galore. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent. Absolutely excellent. Thank you.
This is such a good film! Thank you! Makes my day!!❤
@PizzaFlix, thanks for this funny short action film. I loved every minute of it.
The banter these guys have!😊
Great flick, short and sweet!
I just love these episides. 😊 Thanks Pizza.
Witty dialogue, clever banter. What else do you need?
Great lines, thanks Pizzaflix!
This is fabulous
The cameo with Jack Benny is hilarious!
“Five nickels please. It’s alright, you can bite it.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sadly, the cameo was all too brief. Still, never look a gift horse ....
Thank you for the movie 🍿🍿 Worthy of seeing 💞 give it seven 🌟🌟⭐🌟🌟🌟⭐ you and your family and love ones have a beautiful day 🙋❤️
Thank's Pizza Fix, I enjoyed that.
Duck Powell is so quick. He loves the back and forth with words. It's verbal swordfighting.
Definitely an alpha male. Smoked four packs of cigarettes a day.
Those 4 packs a day took him out, at age 58, unfortunately.
Great episode,thank you!
That stunning beauty from the Twilight Zone! "Will the real Martian please stand up?" Another treat!
Thanks for this great movie.
What a clever little bit.... thank you for sharing.
Jean Willes was a knock-out, I mean "WOW!" what a doll 😍
Excellent program. Loved the surprise nickel guest .
Great film, thank you .........
You know I thought that was Mr.Benny....not by the look or by the voice( always thought he had glasses).....but mostly the 5 nickels for the 25 cents piece....😂
Loved it x
WOW He sure was something!! I remember so well. Thanks for posting this
❤I like this movie so much 🎬📽❣❤
thanks for sharing,good stuff,more quality in that 24 minutes than a years worth of hollywood blockbuster tripe nowdays
EXCELLENT SHOW!
thank you very much send is.
Herb Vigran is another underrated actor!
I couldn't figure out where I had seen Jean Willes before, and then I realized it was the Twilight Zone.
The episode in the diner with the aliens.
Mrs. Sims played the nurse in the beginning of Invasion of The Body Snatchers.
Ah, Godfrey's friend in My Man Godfrey....nice touch.
@8:50 , Jack Benny 'I'd rather go where there's no limits',,,, forever jack... thanks pizza , classic....
alan mowbray - always a pleasure. dick powell, too - so good in his darker side - quite a contrast from his musical days. light-hearted fun

Jack benny❤❤
Jean Willes had a lot of Ava Gardner about her
L O V E the Jack Benny walk thru. LOLOLOL
0:27 I can’t remember his name offhand, but this actor played Mrs. Trumbull’s nephew in an episode of “I Love Lucy”.

Benny is my X husband’s role model.

Jack Benny!
"a little less talk and a little more action please" Sounds like that line was stolen for a song.
Lol I thought the title was The House Always Wins Dick. I was like that's my kinda house
Thank you do you have any more with Dick Powell??
Yes. Subscribe to PizzaFLIX and be notified when we post more Dick Powell episodes.

I got hooked watching right away. Jack Benny was funny without being funny.

Don’t try to hurt him

Do you think Jean Willes also played the original cigarette girl at the beginning, with a hairpiece?
👍🚀
Cameo by Jack Benny?
I spotted right away!
Nothing against the bartender- I like him fine, but I keep thinking Edward Brophy would'a been perfect!
Funny, great plot, sexy men and lovely women. What a entertainment should be about. 💕
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY STATEMENT FROM ME, "X X WILLIAMSON". i APOLOGIZE TO THE CHANNEL: I have lived nearly 77 years as a schizophrenic of the paranoid type. I reason I was born in the first place due to at least one murder of at least one woman and due to G-d's infinite Justice. If I am to be saved it will be due to his infinite Mercy. I have and do live alone and mostly, now, would like to continue thus. If I ever get my own channel working I will not make anymore rude interruptions of other folks videos. 20190720.0738L
Crime and humour just don't work together
Hi Neil, I’ve always thought Powell pulled it off in these Dante episodes. 🍕
I love the style and clothes of that era, but her dress is ugly! It doesn't even fit right. She must've pissed off the wardrobe person...
Was that supposed to be good? Boy, was that lousy or was that supposed to be the genre?
Anyway it stunk.
What? You got something against great writing?
