Dragnet 1966 (1969)

<p>Ladies and gentlemen, the review you are about to hear is true. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent.<br/><br/><em>Dragnet 1966 </em>is a 1969 made-for-TV movie starring Jack Webb, Harry Morgan, Vic Perrin, and Virginia Gregg. This film helped bring about the <em>Dragnet</em> franchise&apos;s triumphant return to television, with creator and producer Webb once again starring as everyone&apos;s favorite stiff, Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department. <br/><br/>Friday and his elderly partner Bill Gannon find themselves tracking down a serial killer who preys on single women and models. The investigation takes them everywhere from the Garden of Eden to the dregs of Dogtown, as well as in the path of a number of exasperating Angelenos. <br/><br/>Áine and Kevin deliver more than just the facts, ma&apos;am, in this review of the flick, ranting about the meandering plot, the oddly-fascinating Friday, the flippant treatment of a horrific series of real-life murders, and, of course, those dang hippies! <br/><br/>Beware, this review contains spoilers!<br/><br/>Follow us on the usual social media suspects:</p><ul><li><a href='https://www.facebook.com/Mystery-to-Me-Podcast-105987494771196'>Facebook</a></li><li><a href='https://twitter.com/mystery_to_me_'>Twitter</a></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/mysterytomepodcast/'>Instagram</a></li></ul><p>And send us mysterious and intriguing missives at mysterytomepodcast@gmail.com.<br/><br/><em>Mystery to Me is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.</em></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
