The Big Actor

Description

A tiny baby just seven weeks old gets left behind at a Los Angeles bus stop...or does it really? Dragnet wins "Best Program Of Its Type" from Radio-TV Mirror, and Jack Webb takes home "Best Radio Actor."

Dragnet is an American radio series, enacting the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show took its name from the police term "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
