Jack Webb

Dragnet, one of TV's most famous and innovative shows from the 1950's comes to colorful life in a classic full-length feature. Jack Webb (Sgt. Joe Friday) recreates his memorable portrayal of a Los Angeles cop–"Just the facts, Ma'am"–in this action-packed tale. A mysterious gangland slaying has taken place and it is up to Joe Friday and the Los Angeles Police Department to put together the pieces. They enlist the services of pretty and daring police woman to trap the devious mobsters and bring them to justice. Friday gets his man with help from his partner, Officer Frank Smith (Ben Alexander), in a crime caper so tough it could only be called Dragnet.

Jack Webb directed and stars in this musical melodrama, along with Janet Leigh, Edmond O'Brien, Peggy Lee, Lee Marvin, Ella Fitzgerald, Martin Milner, Herb Ellis, and Jayne Mansfield.

Gloria Swanson, as Norma Desmond, an aging silent-film queen, and William Holden, as the struggling young screenwriter who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screen's most memorable characters in "Sunset Boulevard." Winner of three Academy Awards, director Billy Wilder's powerful orchestration of the bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence -- a body found floating in a decayed mansion's swimming pool -- through the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, "Sunset Boulevard" is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood. Erich von Stroheim as Desmond's discoverer, ex-husband and butler, and Nancy Olson as the bright spot amidst unrelenting ominousness, are equally celebrated for their masterful performances.
