I've never seen an episode of this show in such pristine condition- the show, not myself. Many thanks for the upload.

Isn't it amazing how shows like this from the 50s can be so clear & yet stuff from some of the 70s are unwatchable?

The outfits of that Era were so spectacular. I like them a lot.

This is a superb quality print for a 1951 tv show. THANK YOU

Edmund Lowe is so watchable w amusing inflections in hus dialog. Very enjoyable. Born in 54.

Jerry Fairbanks, stunt pilot and cinematographer turned producer, had used Multi-Cam with 16mm film since 1947. This DuMont series went out the same year as the premiere of 'I Love Lucy', in which Karl Freund and Desi Arnaz adapted three-camera shooting for sitcom (on 35mm stock) in front of a live audience. They copped most of the credit for innovation. However, 'Amos and Andy', also at CBS, was simultaneously using the technique. Desi acknowledged Fairbanks's priority. Mr and Mrs Ball became multimillionaire studio owners. Fairbanks went bust, though he recouped later.

Wow. The quality of this episode is OUTSTANDING. Someone spent a great deal of time restoring the original material. Thank you!

the women back in the 40's, 50, had such class, no weird hair dos, scrap iron hanging from every place. and tattoos that makes them look like a page out of the comic strip.

Never seen or heard of this show before but understandable as I live in the UK and brought up on British crime series in the 1950's. American series didn't really get screened until the Streets of San Francisco and other popular ones like Highway Patrol and the Untouchables. I quite enjoyed this episode. Thanks for the upload and greetings from here in the UK.

This is amusing and a good take on the dead man who comes back to see what others think of him.

Really good episode! I love watching these shows!💕💕

What a great (if corny) show. I'm a fan! Thanks for sharing it. I look forward to watching more.

"Let me take your coat." he says, then throws it down on the couch.

2:02; "My funeral proved very interesting for me" What a great line!

The quality of these are superb. I've never heard of Actor Edmund Marlow before? What a distinguished and sophisticated man who has that charm that attracts women.

You Kill Me, USA 1951. Paula Drew as Sharon Richards; Betty Ball as Eve Brooks; Al Hill as Benny; Edmund Lowe as David Chase; Dayton Lummis as Mike Breckner; John Marshall, Detective; Walter McGrail as Art Kradick; Doris Merrick as Letty Tyson; Burt Mustin as Morturary Attendant; Mike Ragan as Lefty; Sandra Spence as Vangie Sands.

2:30- One of Burt Mustin's earliest TV appearances. He started out late as an actor, and appeared in dozens of TV shows and movies until his death in 1977.

Thank you for presenting silent film-pre-code star Edmund Lowe in Front Page Detective from 1951 on DuMont. Nice clear print. Also featuring Dayton Lummis as the gunman in the last segment. He played Graham McNamee, sportscaster, in The Winning Team (1952), starring Ronald Reagan as baseball pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander.

Hey ty 👍 what a great show (ep) and a beautiful print ! Wow 💥

Edmund Lowe, born in 1890, was 61 years old when he played David Chase. Betty Ball (not a stripper name) was prolly in her mid-twenties. Hollywood at the time never had a problem pairing older actors with actresses old enough to be their daughter as their love interest, even tho Ball only appeared in two episodes. Her career in movies only lasted from the early to the mid-Fifties, with only six credits in her IMDB listing, which has no biographical info. Interestingly, Doris Merrick, who played George Tyson's wife, only died four years ago in 2019 at the ripe old age of 100. Sandra Spence (Vangie Sands), the blond bombshell in this episode, was 26 at the time. She was active during the decade of the Fifties, but died at an early 50 years old in 1974/

I really like this show alot . Whoever did the background music was a genius. I wish more people had his common sense .Loud obnoxious music gets on my nerves.

Awesome episode, awesome episode. Thank you for sharing.

One very loud typewriter. Good shoe. Loved everything about it.

Just stumbled on this gem, all new actors and a new series, will watch some more to enjoy.

Edmund Lowe was around 60 when this episode first aired. How old do you think his "love" interest Eve was? Probably not even 30! An early 50's TV suspension of belief!

Classic actors! I miss them!

Fantastic channel! Thank you for these wonderful uploads!

Excellent!!!

Originally telecast on December 7, 1951.

When I first watched this, I thought the Betty Ball character was actually being played by Eve Arden. She sounds a lot like her, and the character’s name is Eve Brooks (as in Our Miss…but, of course, she was Connie). I guess it was a certain voice type at the time.

When I first saw Eve (Betty Ball), walk into the room, when WE first see her, the 1st. thing that came into my mind, was Lucille Ball. But wait, this woman's surname, is ALSO Ball!!! Could this possibly be, Lucille's sister (if she, has one)????

Pretty elaborate sets and production for the period and for Dumont. Compare to Tales of Tomorrow, another Dumont show.

Outstanding!

Notice how David Chase [Edmond Lowe] slips up during his dictation of addressing the envelope, and initially asks his assistant to address it to "Betty ... er ... LETTIE Tyson". Naturally, such a slip can occur in real life, but he may have been thinking of Betty Ball, who played "Eve Brooks". Also, although he dictates the letter be addressed to number "eight six six" [8-6-6], a closeup of the envelope shows it has been addressed to number "six six" [6-6]. (Any wonder why Dumont folded on Monday, August 6, 1956?)

Entertaining comedy basically!

Burt Mustin looked 90 then (he was 67). His acting career lasted over 25 years until his death in 1977 at age 93.

He was really upset about Stevens burnt to a crisp in his car

this was written by ppl who wrote radio programs. you can turn off the video and you can still understand what's going on.

"Is he dead ?" "As a herring".😮

24:42 Look where that gun is pointing when it went off. She either shot the floor or the chair but not her husband.

Very entertaining. Chase's affair with the lovely Eve is ok assuming Chase is 45 tops, and she 30 min....apart from that, (the illusion of TV), all good!

2:29 Burt Mustin !!!!!!!

Ty

Historical social attitudes exemplified in old movies: the aged Lothario pressuring women and taking advantage of his position. She didn't seem to be uninclined to respond positively.

That's got to be the youngest I've ever seen Burt Mustin.

20:19 Get a load of that tie he's wearing.

Edmond Lowe was 61 when he made this. A bit creepy .

11:00 It looks like he's up a few floors. How did someone on the outside get up to that window to fire a shot through it?

Cute!

1:35 Just wondering why later in the movie no one is missing or looking for Stephens?

Hood movie 🎬. 😊

11:02 What in the world are the police doing at his door in the middle of the night?

Exercise in STUPIDITY !! Can't stand it, ABORT!! ABORT!! ABORT!! 😱
