Funny how born in 1953 I remember watching this TV show having a toy Highway Patrol police car and two officers while I was barking out orders like Brioderick Crawford. Thanks for plaving these on RUclips. It's been a long time.
My parents owned a 1958 Buick Special 2dr Coupe HT , Black ! That car was a great car. Then Dad bought a 1962 Buick Invicta ( Wildcat ) , 2dr Coupe HT with leather seats and all Power ! AutoTrans in console on the floor and a 445 Wildcat Engine ! Man that car had POWER !!! Loved that Car ! Wish I had it now !
This wasn't the only time the bad guys were driving Christine, a '58 Plymouth Fury. In this episode, it was a convertible. In the episode "Train Robbery" it was a 2-door hardtop. Matthews' cop car was a '58 Dodge Coronet.
I remember this show from when I was a little kid, and I grew up and became a police officer. To see these episodes now knowing what I know allows me to see all the gaps and short cuts the director and writers took either from omission or not knowing any better. It's kind of fun to watch these all over again in a different light.
Excellent episode. I see Dan was sporting a different pair of shoes for this episode. Almost looked like a pair of brown loafers. Maybe his feet were bothering him and needed something a little more comfortable.
I can see the poetic Justice of it. The husband knew his wife was an evil control freak capable of having him murdered, and decided his American freedom was more important than letting her know he was still alive.
I enjoy watching all of these videos, its amazing how the Highway Patrol and police departments can do their job, today with all the modern technology their job can go much faster and better than back in the 1950's modern computers and other technology systems.
When cop caught granger for speeding he asked why he didn’t stop right away. Grainier said his wife ran off with a highway patrol officer 20 years ago, he thought the guy was bringing her back
Beaver was a good show. I wonder if people back then could stoach 40 Beaver type shows. I dont remember too many innocent tv shows back then. You say this destroyed your image of the innocence of Leave it to Beaver. 65 years ago, I dont think one hears to many complaints about loss of innocence, compared to blood splattered walls today in movies. I can understand you watch only G movies. Cop shows have to be violent to be realistic. Kids have to be educated about violence, just read the bible. If blood splattered walls movies come on, I simply turn the channel. The violence on this would make kids laugh compared to garbage nowadays.
@@myronhelton4441 "Cop shows have to be violent to be realistic. Kids have to be educated about violence, just read the bible." Kids are "educated" ON violence, as modern movies are believed to be driving some viewers to commit rape and murder. Probably true. 50's movies shows didn't carry any explictly violent or sexual scenes, a clear sign of the culture that prevailed back then. The 70's were a turning point, when things began to change, with the attendant increase in sexual abuse and violence in US society.
The restaurant became a speakeasy in the 1920s with illegal hooch and prostitutes. Given the clientele, a number of bad things could have happened on that piece of real estate. The one documented case was a doozy. Down a bit from the current Four Oaks site, a man stormed into a roadhouse and confronted his wife in bed with her lover. In a rage, he hacked off the male adulterer’s head with a scythe, bathing the room in blood. The locals captured the murderer and hanged him, and the wandering wife inherited all of the man’s money and property.
They could send the drawing to the lab and have it radio carbon dated to get the exact time the artist drew it to establish the time of death to a reasonable degree of accuracy +/- 80 years or so :)
Craig Dallas : During the 4th season of Highway Patrol there almost was a Chinese Acrobat episode but the plate-spinning acrobat broke so many dinner plates the show’s budget wouldn’t allow the completion of the episode. That is the full truth or it could just be a rumor I’m not sure.
True ! But one episode did include the robbery of a Chinese Laundry (I think it was operated by the Wong Brothers). They had a killer slogan: "Two Wongs Can Make it White !"
The Plymouth and the HP Dodge & Buick were all '58s. And usually, the copyright date at the end matches the year of the cars. But this episode had a copyright of 1955! Strange, huh?
Favorite of the whole series! Why couldn't the deserted wife live and let live? Other favorites also but this one is unusual. Eliot Ness would have loved this clue!
19:30 Cop gets home. "How was your day today honey" "Oh, I got clubbed over the head and knocked out again today. Bad guy got away" Bad guy gets home from work "How was your day honey" "Oh, I clubbed a cop over the head and got away, but once again forgot to disable his radio"
I remember seeing these Highway Patrol shows on TV when I was a kid. Haven't seen them since till just now. Broadway acts like a cop who has been eating a bunch of cross drops but you could get back in those days.
this isn't so much of a crime show, but an vehicle showcase -- at lest they use the Big Three, Ford, GM, and Chrysler, mostly the latter, though. love looking t those classic finned beauties.
Hush Puppies were the thing then. No black heel marks on Mom's waxed floors, y'know. Neoprene crepe soles and brushed pigskin uppers, so you didn't have to shine them; light as a sneaker or house shoe... Remember the slogan: "Hush Puppies are Dumb".
Dan Mathews always wore a suit and never took his hat off even indoors. I also watched for something on this episode that I had read about. He had bad feet and circulation so he wore bedroom slippers with his suit. Take a look at the light tan ones tonight. 🤣
Daniel Young yea move to Prescott Arizona It reminds me of California in the 70s It’s not hot like the rest of Arizona because it’s in a high elevation
This plot is just silly: A guy is shot twice at close range, yet still manages to complete a detailed charcoal sketch of his killer. Somehow the sketch pad ends up on the road. A cop decides to stop and pick it up.
The sign on the restaurant said " FOUR OAKS CAFE" when the victim to be came out and when Matthews and the police officer pull up to interview the waitress but the cop and Lt Matthews kept calling it | MOUNTAIN CAFE" ..... 12:48 everybody leaves the shack with the kettle left on,
"The charcoal looks fresh!" "I want to make person-to-person call to Blanch Cronin". Mmm? Oh yeah, the number is..." "It's just that I've never been an accessory to murder before". You too can be screenwriter! LOL
19:45, A Mystery Sting, also used on Casey Jones, “Storm Warning” episode (1:51), I’d like to know what TC number is where that sting come from?, It’s from the Capitol “HI-Q” Series, since Casey Jones is a Screen Gems Production.
The infamous Four Oaks Cafe... It's a slow day in the neighborhood when the Highway Patrol pulls over to look at a paper pad on the road. You could make a pot of tea, or 10 or 20, with that behemoth. That art gallery dealer is going to loot the place as soon as Mathews leaves. 20:00 "I was going to give that guy a break and write him for 60 in a 55. Now he's getting the full ticket, by golly." 21:52 "We can't hire another killer. There isn't time!" Next time, plan ahead. I like Williams' glance at Mathews in the apartment. "The place is surrounded." "Really?"
"If you care to drive, drive with care." "Drive like your life depends on it....because it does." "If you drink and drive, that makes two of us, buddy."
+Robert Tiscione Did you notice they switched cars in the episode before this? In episode 92 Crawford had the Buick, and in this one he has the '58 Dodge?
@@BearStar1 I know that look it up in a repair manual, I have one actually I have a lot they cover American cars from 1940 up to 1985 and in 1958, the cubic inch was 364, the torque was 445. If you don't have a repair manual Google it
Victim is shot in the chest/stomach area and is face down when found. Yet the sarge knows he was shot twice when he calls it in. Pretty observant! Or else a blooper.
The great thing about Broderick was that he was an habitual drunk. When he preached about driving safely, it was against a background of multiple DUIs that cost him his driver license which was an accomplishment in the 50's and early 60's. That's why a lot of the later episodes only show him driving on private ranch roads. He's wearing tennis shoes in this episode and others because he broke an ankle or foot trying to jump off of a helicopter. I'm not sure if he was drunk then as well, but it would follow. I don't have anything against him, I just find it comical when geezers call this great television. I am a geezer too and saw this stuff when it originally aired, but even as a child I thought it was overly contrived. I value it now as an instance of how stupidly bad things were then.
It seems like wherever possible, they tried to shoot with only one camera. This is particularly obvious in the scenes where people seem to slide across from one side of the car to the other and in some of the dialogue where they actually shoot with one person talking with their back to the camera. I guess this made for speed and kept the budget down.
This is when TV was worth Watching. Im 65 and I used to sit with my Dad and enjoy shows like this.

The waitress is Karen Scott (as far as I can tell from IMDB). She turned in a great piece of acting at the Four Oaks with Dan interviewing her.
Broderick Crawford was the MAN. Looking at them not they are so corny, but damn, they're still so good. Brings me back to my youth.
Love the cars and the old fashion police work.
Wish all Police departments could solve their cases in 30 minutes like these guys do!

All this, packed into less than 30 minutes! Makes all the garbage that's stuck into movies, and shows, glaring. Just the meat of the story.

No way he could've drawn that detailed portrait that quickly! Unbelievable.
Artistic talent + Photographic memory = detailed portrait
I have seen it done that quickly... We also don't know EXACTLY how long it took. Assumptions = ?
Quite right. These shows are full of logic holes. But fun anyway.
To all of the above: This is an old school cop show. How dare you seek a shovel to fill logic holes 😹
Sad that he wasted his time.Maybe if the cop had mentioned the BLUE CONVERTIBLE when he first called in ?????

One important fact in this episode no matter what year it is - Never accept a ride from strangers! No matter how nice he or she may look!
And always use a head shot to finish the job.
I stopped giving lifts a long time ago.
@Carol Young I have been offered lift by strangers twice, all two women.
They were nice ladies, offering help, seeing me stranded. Will never forget.

Great episode. Mrs Cronin is veteran actress Ann Morriss who had a long career.
Good advice: always carry a box of crayons and a sketch pad in case you get attacked. But whatever happened to don't accept lifts from strange men ?
The Plymouth and the HP Dodge & Buick were all '58s. And usually, the copyright date at the end matches the year of the cars. But this episode had a copyright of 1955! Strange, huh?
And the car that pulls away at the very start of the episode is a 1954 Oldsmobile highway patrol car!
Dan Matthews does it again!!
The artist added 'Blue convertible' to his sketch. No-one bothered to look out for and stop any.

He's wearing tennis shoes in this episode and others because he broke an ankle or foot trying to jump off of a helicopter. I'm not sure if he was drunk then as well, but it would follow.
I don't have anything against him, I just find it comical when geezers call this great television. I am a geezer too and saw this stuff when it originally aired, but even as a child I thought it was overly contrived. I value it now as an instance of how stupidly bad things were then.

A Beverly Hills shoe store, Chandlers, in walks an Oscar winning actor. He wants brown hush puppies loafers 😺
There's a mistake in this episode at about 22:15. Grainger is in the passenger seat and about 22:17 you see no one is driving.
Mathews wore tennis shoes in this episode??
It seems like wherever possible, they tried to shoot with only one camera. This is particularly obvious in the scenes where people seem to slide across from one side of the car to the other and in some of the dialogue where they actually shoot with one person talking with their back to the camera. I guess this made for speed and kept the budget down.
Incredible and double incredible!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇺🇧🇩
So funny to see Dan wearing soft brown suede shoes.
they looked like sneakers ..
Dan and those slippers! Gout must be playing him up
note Broderick Crawfords house slippers. only a hard man could wear such soft shoes.
Dan got some weird shoes on in this series. His feet must be hurting Lol
The booze gave Crawford the perfect "cops voice".
That Four Oaks Cafe can't be bigger that a walk in closet. Probably all houses now where this was filmed in 1958
+Robert Tiscione Four Oaks café is located on Beverly Glen Bl. in Bel Air. With the price of land doubtful its still there.
In the show they claim they are going to the Mountain Cafe, not the Four Oaks Cafe
It was still there in June 2016, with the same name, but closed.
And notice that the Drink Coca-Cola buttons on either side of the sign have likely been blanked out.
Robert Tiscione Mathews called it the Mountain Cafe!
Seems like the Four Oaks diner is in several episodes.
Or the evil diner at the T intersection. With the parking lot to the right side and a wood fence.
