DRAGNET, VOLUME 3

Details

• Release Year: 2003
• Genre: Action/Adventure, Classic, Crime, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Possibly the most distinctive police drama in television history, Dragnet brought the exhaustive legwork that goes into solving a crime directly to the small screen. Drawing on actual cases from the Los Angeles Police Department, Dragnet set the tone for the countless television police dramas that followed it. Though it focused on the seemingly mundane process of evidence gathering and suspect interrogation, the show never lost the dramatic tension necessary to keep the viewer enthralled.; Making the jump from radio to television in 1951, Dragnet aired through 1959 in its initial run, with Jack Webb starring as straight-laced Sergent Jos Friday and a number of other actors taking on the role of Friday's partner. With film noir veteran Webb directing, starring in and producing the show, Dragnet would utilize the look of those crime films that preceeded it to produce a stark and gritty image of the city and its denizens.
