really? I didn’t know that. Great radio voices.
He was the bad guy in “Appointment with Danger.” Freaked me out when he clubbed Harry Morgan to death with a pair of bronzed baby shoes.
During his divorce, Jack Webb had the LAPD wiretape Julie London’s phone. So much for the myth.
Never saw that movie. I’ll have to see if I can find it.
Wasn’t there also a Dragnet movie from that era? I thought I might have seen it advertised on one of the retro stations recently.
Chickenhawk is the term used by homosexuals to describe adult men who chase young boys.
Might as well call him a teabagger.
It may be this one it is also at Internet Archive.

Maybe. But I thought the ad for the movie I referred to called it “Dragnet” or something. When I get a minute, I’ll do some research.
Thanks though. Another movie to see
I may have found it. From 1954:

There was also another movie done in 1966. Apparently, it was favorably received by the network that the series was revived. The movie, however, wasn’t shown to the public till 1969.
But as I understand, the United States military lets you claim hardship under circumstances like Webb's. I'm sure it gets abused by some, and Webb's multiple marriages make him sound like a mixed bag, integrity-wise, but I'm prepared to cut him a little slack, since I know nothing about this case and he did honorable work in his professional life.
Merry Christmas and thank you for your service.
