Broadway My Beat. 532 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 3: Broadway Is My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover, 533 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,279 with Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Krushian as Muggovin. 534 00:29:44,759 --> 00:29:47,440 The program was produced and directed by Elliot Lewis, with 535 00:29:47,599 --> 00:29:51,839 musical score composed and conducted by Alexander courage. In tonight's story, 536 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,759 Kathy Lewis was heard as Ruth Logan, ed Max as 537 00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:57,519 al Mundo, I Have her Back as Norm Persak, Paula 538 00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:06,240 Victor as Vicky, and Billy Happatt as Tommy Capp. Lovers 539 00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:09,200 of fine music are already familiar with the strong, melodious 540 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,680 voices of the Corolaiirs on CBS Radio. This is to 541 00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:16,119 remind our many Sunday Night Corolaiirs listeners that this excellent 542 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,559 coil group will be heard at a new earlier time 543 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:25,079 on most of these stations starting tomorrow. By Andrews speaking, 544 00:30:25,200 --> 00:31:19,039 this is the CBS Radio Network. 545 00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, I've bit of a rough episode for Mugovin. 546 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,920 He kept having Danny, and this happened multiple times where 547 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,079 Danny would interrupt while he was trying to relay his 548 00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:39,200 information before he could explain the import of it. In 549 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,599 a way, it felt like the sort of negative feelings 550 00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:48,240 that Danny had expressed earlier in the series towards those 551 00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:52,920 who processed crime scenes is kind of falling on Muggovin 552 00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:56,720 for some reason this week. And then there's that little, 553 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:02,920 really brief bit where he he offends Tartaglia with what 554 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:08,119 was really a sort of legitimate and necessary question about 555 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,680 whether he had discussed the case when he got that ride, 556 00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:17,400 and it touched a nerve with Tartaglia and offended his 557 00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:22,599 sense of professionalism. His response is, look, Muggovin, I've been 558 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,440 on this job for twenty years. I know not to 559 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,519 discuss ongoing investigations with young guys who give me a 560 00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:36,039 ride somewhere, and I know how to handle myself both 561 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,759 on the job and off the job. And it was 562 00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:42,039 a lot, and like I said, it was a necessary question. 563 00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:46,000 But Mugavin slightly got his head been off there. And 564 00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:49,640 I do wonder if that was the intent of fine 565 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,559 or freaking, or if that was a decision made because 566 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,480 even the words don't necessarily have to be delivered that 567 00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:05,359 horsh But perhaps Charles Calvert or the director went that direction. 568 00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:11,680 And this makes this a bit different than Dragnet. On Dragnet, 569 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,599 for the most part, the police officers remained, at least 570 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:22,799 during the fifties cities pretty unfailingly professional. There was no 571 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,680 real office drama going on. The only thing you have 572 00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:33,839 is the captain's occasionally taking things out on our heroes, 573 00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:36,799 and that was an not considered abusive at the time. 574 00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:42,559 You kind of imagine that on the Dragnet Police Captain's Manual, 575 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,960 there's procedures when there's a case, it is unsolved, and 576 00:33:48,039 --> 00:33:52,799 you have no constructive suggestions on how the investigation can 577 00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:56,519 move forward. Tell the officers that they need to get them, 578 00:33:56,839 --> 00:33:59,839 and how frustrated you are. And even that didn't have 579 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,599 happen all the time. The way that broadways my bait 580 00:34:04,079 --> 00:34:08,480 shows I guess with Muggavin is that sometimes you're not 581 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,280 doing anything particularly wrong, but people are going to give 582 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,119 you grief for no good reason, just because it's your 583 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,280 day to have that happen. And sometimes that happens in 584 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,519 the office. Listener comments and feedback. Now and we start 585 00:34:26,559 --> 00:34:31,880 over on Spotify where mechanics sixty six rights. Regarding the 586 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,920 Kurt Bauer murder case, I wish I could feel more 587 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:40,440 fatherly towards her. How could you see so tall? None 588 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,559 of the non police characters in the story were sympathetic 589 00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:48,079 in the lease. However, I did admire how clever the 590 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:52,440 husband father was good one. Well, yeah, I guess clever 591 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,199 he is clever fair enough on that. I also didn't 592 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,119 find any of the non police characters in this episode 593 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:06,039 all that compelling. I mean, you had Blackmailer would be 594 00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:11,199 Blackmailer mean drunk. I think Broadways My Beat is a 595 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:16,000 series that doesn't really rely on these characters being likable 596 00:35:16,039 --> 00:35:19,880 at all, but in some way interesting and so yeah, 597 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:25,519 with a character like the father in that episode, I 598 00:35:25,519 --> 00:35:29,119 think they made it. And then we have a comment 599 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,039 from a listener and I hope I pronounce his name correctly. 600 00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:36,760 I've watched a YouTube video and if I picked this 601 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:43,719 up right. This comment comes from Joao, who writes from Portugal. 602 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,760 This show made me discover awesome series that were never 603 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,159 broadcast in Portugal. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Well, 604 00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:54,239 thank you so much for listening in Portugal. I really 605 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,239 appreciate it.
