| Tuesday October 03 00:01:40 2006 "Highway Patrol" puzzle |
| This message is going to David (if you're still there) at the suggestion of Jay L--but if anyone else can help, please chime in. I posted the note below on the main forum, but it belongs here. I hope there's someone out there who can resolve this.
Here's the full message: I've run across another puzzle. I've got 2 clips that came to me labeled as "Highway Patrol," an old US TV series from the early 1950s, starring Broderick Crawford. I've posted them in a zipfile here: http://rapidshare.de/files/34898045/HPclips.zip.html The first clip is a few seconds of a DiD bound and gagged in what seems like a closet, who is in process of freeing herself. That's it. The second clip is a longer scene at a mountain/desert cabin, where a ransom is being delivered by parents (accompanied by a pilot) to free the DiD, their daughter. This clip came to me labeled as episode "The Plane." In Brian's dB, there are 3 entries for Highway Patrol: 2969 ("The Robbery") 2970 ("Roadblock") 2971 ("The Plane") The only description in the dB for all three is "bound and gagged." Not too helpful, no DiD IDs, but understandable--it's a very old series. The IMdB is singularly unhelpful, since it has an incomplete listing of episodes for this show, and very sketchy cast lists. But, interestingly enough, there exists a website dedicated to this show (hard to believe, but true): http://www.highwaypatroltv.com That site has a "complete" listing of all episodes (although no good cast listings). Now, here's the problem: "Roadblock" is clearly Episode 1.1, but the description doesn't really correspond to either of the clips I have. There is no episode called "The Robbery." There's "Plant Robbery" (1.25), "Art Robbery" (1.34), "Motel Robbery" (2.11), "Train Robbery" (4.8), "Split Robbery" (4.13), "Gem Robbery" (4.19), and "Diversion Robbery" (4.21). The only description that comes close to my first clip is 4.13--but I'm reluctant to conclude that this ID is correct, without some outside confirmation. There is no episode called "The Plane." Not even remotely. There are a few with the word "Copter" included, but none of the episode descriptions comes anywhere close to nailing the scene, which is clearly a kidnap-for-ransom scene. Can anyone help with this--and thus help clear up the database as well? Check out the scenes and let us all know! Thanks, Dannysuling |
