"All she ever cared about was money"..."What woman doesn't?" Probably Dan's best line in the whole series! Flo could still serve me a meatloaf & mashed potatoes any day of the week😊
`Social justice warrior (SJW) is a pejorative term for an individual who promotes socially progressive views, including feminism, civil rights, and multiculturalism, as well as identity ... at those espousing views adhering to social liberalism, cultural inclusivity, or feminism, as well as views deemed to be politically correct.`
Indeed. All social evils. They've unhinged society. Those called it in a perjorative way earned it fully. Multiculturalism is why France and England are fast on their way to becoming Muslim countries. 40% of London is now Muslim. ALL meat served in UK schools is halal, dedicated to demon gods. A "Social Justice Warrior" is a warrior against goodness and Western civilization. They have unhinged the Western world. Did I mention In France, French police are not "allowed" to go into certain neighborhoods? In East London There are signs put up by Muslims telling people sharia is the law, not English common law, as it has been for nearly a thousand years. SJW's suck. It should be outlawed as reckless.
Yet, those who complain will not bark about him NOT shooting a woman like he would a man, and shooting the tires out like he could in several other episodes instead of downing a man criminal.
I remember me and my Dad watching this together when I was about 10 years old. He was retired FBI and he used to get so pissed at this show. He kept saying, "That's not how we'd do it," but he never quit watching it. Also, that crack about women always wanting money: can U imagine someone saying that on TV today?
Yes, I know what you mean. Women handle the money where I'm from and I'm lucky to get around on my allowance. (I'm really in charge of the money but she thinks she is!).
"All she cared about was money". "What woman doesn't". Does Mathew's statement imply that every woman has the potential to execute this level of crime?
Jean Engstrom (1920-1997) played Flo Durfee. This was her 7th or 8th appearance in a TV show, she would go on to appear in about 40 of them between 1955-1966. Her most remembered role was that of Claire Winter, the interior designer attracted to the character played by leading lady Beverly Tyler in the 1957 Boris Karloff movie "Voodoo Island." Her character has a fatal run-in with a man-eating plant at the end of the movie. She was good in everything she did, but like most actors and actresses working in television, never got a recurring role on a TV series. Her daughter, Jena Engstrom, was one of the better young actresses on television on the early 1960 who, unlike her mother Jean, usually was cast in guest-starring roles in shows like "Gunsmoke" and "Have Gun - Will Travel." Jena left acting for health reasons. Series star Broderick Crawford apparently had a serious drinking problem while appearing in this series, which led to arrests for drunk driving and a suspended license, which meant that he could not drive on public roads without breaking the law. Maybe that's why the robber ditched the panel truck on a dirt road, so Broderick Crawford could drive a car in a scene and not get arrested. He was a good actor. After winning the Academy Award for best actor in "All the King's Men" he appeared in a great role as a mobster in the "Born Yesterday." I believed that he got billing in that movie over William Holden.
There's that same little cafe again. That's at least the third time they've used it in this series and the second time it was run by criminals. You'd think Broderick would be suspicious about it from the git go.
"Hideout episode 14," I'm sure. Funny I've noticed that same diner, Don't know much about Jean Egstrom, she might've been flo durphy's character, the husband I have seen in possibly 'Federal,' or that 'Treasury men,' series. Wonder if anybody knew who the female dispatcher was?Funny Matthews and his boy didn't even get served a cup of coffee.
And you can see the foundation vents. So you know there's at least a crawl space, that would not have been overlooked in real life while searching a structure for people hidden.
*"Flo" was played by Jean Engstrom, whose acting career lasted just under 15 years. She appeared in such TV series as "Bonanza" and "Perry Mason", as well as others. Her final appearance before leaving show business was on Brian Keith's "Family Affair"*
With a map, phone, a teletype, and a roadblock, Dan Mathews can triangulate and find criminals faster than with all the technology available to law enforcement today! Of course, it also helped that back in the 50s political officials acted in concert with the police rather than with the criminals, as they do today.
In your dreams! It was OK for the times but not even close to "anything they make today" and that is a fact, not an opinion, I like the show, what it has iss Nostalgia, what they cannot reproduce today is nostalgia.....but in 60 years today's young people will be saying the same thing, "better than anything they make today" in the 50's viewers would have been saying, silent movies were better than Highway patrol, that's called human nature, we believe what we want to believe, it's the same sort of mentality that helps sell the idea that a man lives in the clouds and watches everything you do ever single minute of every single day and if you believe that you get a ticket to heaven for eternity....all crap but we want to believe it, don't we?
When Dan first checked for the perp outside, you could see the basement windows. He never asked about the basement or how to get into it. Dan wouldn't have missed that.
One of my favorite episodes of this series. Flo acted a lot braver than her husband Ben, but they would have gotten either life in prison or the gas chamber.
Have you noticed in almost every episode when Dan is in the office on the phone, he'll say "what's that"? And the caller has to repeat himself! For the love of God, will someone please get Dan some hearing aids? HaHa!!
Third or fourth time i've seen that same diner building, with a different sign each time of course. They did a pretty good job staging the crime scene. I wondered if there would have been a few drips of blood feom them moving the body, possibly making a trail. He had 2 holes in him. Had they had modern hollowpoints, there would not have been the clue of the missing bullet- there would be no exit wound. Honor among thieves never works- someobe always gets greedy. They would probably get life, since they murdered a felon. It would take some doing to prove their involvement in the robbery plot, which would be first degree, since the guard was killed. The surviving suspect may have known the whole plot though, and would probably talk
@@JohnPMittenthank you for the correction- For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
I guess a flat pretty much shuts you down ...couldn't imagine driving with one during a gun fight ! oh well I give up hahaha I do love these shows...life seems so much simpler ...10-4 ?
@@JohnPMitten That's got to be the funniest line for a long time! There are alcoholics who give up drinking; Dan never did, then he gives us these sanctimonious statements of advice on driving; he would only be allowed to drive on dirt roads for the show because of suspended license.
This was the fifties..why couldn't the patrol car be a Turnpike Cruiser with retractable rear window and white wall tires....hey it IS the fifties.....
She should have held her nerve instead of drawing her gun on the two cops, but by that stage the gun would surely have been taken as evidence and not left on the counter.
62 years ago!! Love Cali back then betcha that is SAN BERNADINO smog and traffic jams to follow but in those days fresh like the woman wow a looker FRESH!
The women were hired by the producers. I think the main qualification was the willingness to work for peanuts. The budget for each episode was $25,000 and a good chunk of that went to Crawford. I would also think a lot of them saw it as a first step on the ladder up, an entry level job. And a good one if you had more than one line. From interviews I read Crawford encouraged the young actors on the show, giving them some stage business to perform or an extra line. Stuart Whitman, who appeared on a few of the episodes, said Crawford remembered how he was treated when he started out and wasn’t anxious for anyone to go through what he went through. You could only do so much because of the tight shooting schedule and paltry budget.
I been watching this show ever since I was a child, I just recently Purchased the complete series it is great. I have a question maybe someone knows, when they are on the radio they say by? Was that away of them saying ten four in the 50's?.
I notice that they seemed to use a group of vehicles a lot of the time. The green Ford panel van in this episode appears quite often in others as does a light green Ford pick up & a grey 58 Ford sedan among others. Must have had some kind of deal with a local Ford garage or something.
"All she ever cared about was money"..."What woman doesn't?" Probably Dan's best line in the whole series! Flo could still serve me a meatloaf & mashed potatoes any day of the week😊
Yes, Steven, she would serve you the meal then shoot you to death before you could even eat, LOL!!!
Was JUST going to mention that line! Classic! ✌️🤣👍
Yeah with arsenic in it.
She grabbed the money 💰 and left her husband.
Years later, after being released from prison, Flo was employed at Mel’s Diner in Arizona.
And after being assigned kitchen detail for 20 years in prison, she came up with her catch phrase "Kiss my Grits".
at the end, the guy, "all she ever cared about was money", Dan, "what woman doesn't!" You gotta love Dan!
Oh god, imagine the shrieking and protesting today if that line was used on a TV show.

Wish the pointy bras would makea comeback
Actually, women had pointy breasts at the time.😂
I think we've seen that restaurant before.
That lady was very smart, almost smart enough to get away with the murder!
She was an idiot.
That diner must be a lousy place to eat. Bad location. No customers.
A bit like Bates Motel.

Same black panel truck
Been watching these episodes for a week. The women on this show were fine as hell.
I don't understand why the guard didn't unload his gun in them 2, he shoots once and waits to see if they are going to give up and ends up dead
No !!! The guard should stay put.... printed paper is Not worth it!!!
Same old isolated restaurant used in several episodes, I remember it in the "Dan hostage" episode.
Same bullet holes in the windows...
Yeah, And has anyone noticed that when they pass a vehicle on the highway, It's always that same truck With that white canvas over the back
I've seen it on at least 3 episodes, Same truck they pass
"What was he driving?" - The panel truck from episode 3.
HP never shots a lady. Very considerate
More than I'd have been. Anyone shoots at me, except fire to be returned.
It appears in those days in the show s they did not shoot ladies and classic Broderick Crawford if I'd ever seen it RIP Broderick we sure miss you sir

Hi this is Broderick Crawford saying leave your blood at the Red Cross not on the highway, luv it!
They didn't do much in the way of forensics back then I guess. She shoots the guy in the back and no one notices?
She's smart enough to wipe the crook's gun and put his prints on it......Matthews grabs it and touches every surface like Barney Fife.
Or they thought the bullet went all the way through.
Wow,. a revolver that ran our of ammo! Most of the time they just keep on firing. LOL
"We have a lot of work in front of us." Yeah - about 15 minutes. lol

I'm so glad Dan and his crew always get the criminals!

One thing I noticed, attractive police dispatchers have no articles in their vocabulary. Like Charlie Chan.
Dan says with regularity when taking a call " what's that?" Is he hard of hearing? LOL
Dan's at the wall map first thing; the robber has no chance.
Most of their dispatchers were yummy.
