@@msz1923 He makes a good point though, in my properly educated opinion. I have not seen this vid yet, but I do know that car chases (for example), which are all "action", almost always,--do not add any plot or story value to the movie. The original "Gone in 60 seconds", ended with about 20 min of car bashing chase, (very exciting, and very long), but did not add any value to the story. The intellect side of us sees that. The clouded entertained side of us may not. There is more to understand, than the pretty colors.

I am in agreement. Manners were a given. Everyone tried to dressed nice - wearing suits, dresses, and class sportswear were the norm. The pace was slower and anything you truly needed was affordable yet overbuilt and not a disappointment or waste. People were, generally, kinder and more open toward their fellowman. We've lost a lot of ethics that helped make the US the greatest country on the face of the earth. Yep, there was always a criminal element, but it was a lot less so and, mostly, not as widespread and shocking. There's a lot of visual time-capsules in these old flicks.

Only this time, the perps didn't get away by simply ducking into a parking garage (though they came close in the railyard).

There weren't many freeways when this was filmed and they usually ended after leaving the metro areas. Los Angeles was one that built them early on. The crook's car is a 1953 Chrysler New Yorker convertible. Only 950 were built. Third year of the 331 Hemi V8. A few went on to have long careers such as Joe Flynn, (the McHale's Navy captain) Douglas Kennedy in many supporting roles and of course Jim Davis who appeared in many westerns and finally climaxed his career as Jock Ewing on Dallas from 1978 to 1981. He plays the part of the convict just great here with his fast dialogue. And LOVE the 1954 Nashes as police cars. I believe this can be found on DVD thru Alpha Video or one of the vendors that specializes in obscure films.

Also on certain days of the week different parts of town would burn their trash in a concrete backyard incinerator. I went through Santa Barbara on their burn day. Man you couldn't breathe or see very far. It was done to save landfill space at the expense of air pollution. ugh 😝 And of course most cars would look better with whitewalls 🤗

Have you seen where hundreds of teens go en-mass into expensive stores and take everything in sight? The big word is MAY choose. They won't choose to get the police involved and that is encouraging ppl to steal & rob.

This has to be the shortest roll Lon Chaney Jr. ever played. He was like an extra! I wish I knew how much they paid him. It was like a cameo role because he's probably been in more than 100 movies. He was even in a MONKEES episode! Now let's get to the 'realism' aspect of this flick. A cop nails a running target on the dock from a helicopter from about two football fields distance with a handgun. A felon shoots a cop out of a whirlybird from just as far away (wasn't he wearing a safety belt?) As Buck Barrow would say, "Yah-Hoo!!!!! I never SEEN such shootin'!"

Smoking while pregnant. I was born in '55, and though my mom smoked, she quit while I was developing. My dad was quite proud of her "fortitude" to stop while she carried me and my two other siblings. 😂

My parents smoked and when I was a few months old, I was told I was very sick with congestion and almost died. Then, as I got older , I had chronic sinusitis. The doctor wasn't much help. But my parents kept on a smokin' ! Now I'm in my sixties and no health problems. Second hand smoke is just as bad as actually smoking .

Everyone did smoke back then! Weird, though, when my mom was pregnant with her 2nd child, my older sister, smoking made her sick to the point where she quit for good! And, that sister could never tolerate the ashes, the smoke, or anything about smoking. So, I think my unborn sister , in a way, saved my mom from that bad habit, and the 5 babies that followed!!

I think the TV studios had a deal with Nash. Back in the black & white TV era of the 1950's, Highway Patrol didn't use Nashes. But other shows such as The Adventures of Superman used Nashes all the time.

Some interesting comments from this road geek. First of all there was no barrier on the Hollywood Freeway. A few crossover fatalities would necessitate building of one a few years later. The sign at freeway entrances was "Motor Vehicles Only". This was quickly replaced by the "Pedestrians Bicycles Motor Driven Cycles Prohibited" that is still in use today. Also, since the Golden State Freeway 5 had not yet been built, the left exit off The Pasadena Freeway is signed "Riverside Drive" rather than Golden State Freeway.
