1. Quite boring 🥱

2. I hope the car that went off the cliff was a mock up and not that beautifull thunderbird.

3. Keys is the hero here…

4. 10/10. Is this based on the old black & white film 'Double Indemnity' starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Edward G Robinson – the names and occupation of the characters in this episode (Keys (who even has indigestion problems, same as Edward G Robinson) and Walter Neff) are exactly the same?

5. I'll never know why Jack Kelly never hit the big big time. Great film – is it set in any particular place?

6. Calling all Car Buffs ! It's the little things that intrigue me . (17:54) . Put the car in park . And He Moved The Steering Wheel HORIZONTALLY To The Right !
   Brand New To Me !

7. The insurance company agent is from Highway Patrol TV series.

8. "When a guy comes up with a quick answer to an unexpected question, the answer always means something." Broderick was impressive

9. not a high quality society but an illusion .false things must come to an end

10. The one & only Brod Crawford ! Jack Kelly , not bad

11. @ 18:10 I don't want to forget this line. Being a man myself, I'm going to note it down in my notebook:👇
    IT'S A MISTAKE TO THINK THAT ANYTHING A MAN DOES IS ONLY HIS BISINESS. IT NEVER IS.

12. My favorite Maverick!…and the great Crawford! Golden age of television……..oh, it was fantastic.

13. " you have to walk away now cant you see that."
    " i see it but i cant believe it ".
    Lmao 😂

14. Loved it !!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

15. What chemistry
    the actors had. Love this series! ☮️✌️☮️

16. Beverley Owens was beautiful and i recognized her voice so soft & well spoken …she played one of the Marilyn 's from the Munster's

17. There are so many big Stars in these old films. I do so enjoy watching them so much! I mostly remember Broderick Crawford in the film Born Yesterday with Judy Holiday!

18. Beverly Owen was the first actress to play Marilyn Munster. She filmed the pilot, but when the show was picked up, found that she couldn't do it for personal reasons. She was replaced by Pat Priest. They were so similar in appearance that many viewers didn't realize the switch had been made.

19. Broderick Crawford !! " Don't Aim your car !! Drive it " From one of a series he was in.

20. Walter Neff….the name of the insurance agent gone bad in "Double Indemnity" played by Fred MacMurray.

21. The characters 'Keys' and 'Walter Neff' are the characters from the movie "Double Indemnity" with Barbara Stanyck and Fred MacMurray 🤔.

22. WHATLEY

23. Jack Kelly should have died in 2006 according to the actuarial data Broderick mentioned. In real life he died in 1992 at the age of 65.

24. The young lady was the original Marilyn from The Munsters. Much prettier with her natural hair color.

25. Two Academy Awards winners: Broderick Crawford and Ed Begley. Legends!

26. Rollin in the grass in his 50 $$ suit

27. Light me one 2

28. This was a pilot for a proposed series to be called "Shadow of a Man", based (uncredited) on the novel "Double Indemnity" by James M. Cain, filmed previously as Double Indemnity (1944).

29. these are boring

30. I discovered this series and am addicted, excellent plots and acting 👍

31. Quite the booze soaked plot

32. Scary to not know you're being followed and watched. Even in Hollywood ha.

33. I think Beverly Owen had one of the sexiest voices on TV and she was quite a beauty to boot!

34. There's always a "convenient" cliff in these movies. Lol. Love, love that blue interior in the white car in that last scene.

35. Thanks for the upload and thanks for the new word to add to my vocabulary…probity. I love learning and using new words, ever since I was a youngster.

36. I’m 45 but I SO DEARLY MISS these clear elegant American cinema accents.
    Heard them on TV growing up in so many older shows and movies in the 1980s and I miss the accent so much. Such atmospheric clear pronunciation film and theatre actors had back then.

37. A quick synopsis would be appreciated!

38. Mais um filme excelente que assisti desse canal, obrigado pela postagem!

39. 12:14 Broderick Crawford ho lee xi.

40. I've loved those Jaguar E-types/XKEs since I was a kid. p.s. I've watched 3 random episodes of this show. The actor who played the bellboy was in all of them.

41. This episode seems to be based on the 1944 film, "Double Indemnity" about insurance investigators Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson. Robinson is MacMurray's boss and is named Keyes, just as the Broderick Crawford character is in this film. Jack Kelly takes on the Fred MacMurray role of Walter.

42. The accountant that worked for ed begley was robert cornthwaite who played the doctor on the sci fi classic the thing with kenneth tobey and james arness as the thing.

43. Amazing what a high quality society we had. Well dressed people with manners and clean streets. Can we please go back?

44. I didn't get the ending. What was with the son ? Grateful for an answer. 😊
