Cinema Saturday: Dragnet (1966-9)

 We're launching a new feature today with Cinema Saturday. First up, we're bringing back the 1966 pilot for the 2nd Dragnet series, which didn't air until 3 years later. Unfortunately, the last copy we had was removed from YouTube.

This time, we'll start with the opening sequence, which has, for unknown reasons, been edited off subsequent prints.


Today, the bondage sequence at the start probably would've been moved to later in the movie.

Now, in the words of the late Paul Harvey, the rest of the story.


I honestly wish the movie was left intact as we had it before, but things are different today.

In 2 weeks, the return of Peter Gunn.
