Maybe. But I thought the ad for the movie I referred to called it “Dragnet” or something. When I get a minute, I’ll do some research.

Thanks though. Another movie to see

I may have found it. From 1954:

There was also another movie done in 1966. Apparently, it was favorably received by the network that the series was revived. The movie, however, wasn’t shown to the public till 1969.
