What Dragnet Is About
This 1954 police picture was directed by Jack Webb, who also stars in it, and it carries the Dragnet series, which had come from radio to television, into the cinema. Webb is Sergeant Joe Friday again and Ben Alexander is his partner Frank Smith. It opens with the shooting of a syndicate man and then moves the way the Los Angeles police move: step by step, witness by witness. The dry tone the series was loved for is intact here, with no heroics, only procedure. Richard Boone and Ann Robinson are in the cast. It is also of interest as an early case of television's storytelling manner being carried onto the big screen.
