M Squad was a 1957-60 NBC US TV cop series starring Lee Marvin. Action-packed, hard-edged, with a film noir vibe. It dives right into the seamy side of life. Marvin oozes charisma. He's like a pressure cooker about to blow. Superb TV.

Johnny Staccato (1959) a stylish gritty jazz-fuelled film noir-inflected PI TV series with John Cassavetes as a piano player/private eye. Similar to Peter Gunn but better - more neurotic, edgy and noirish.

Hi-Jack, an episode of the 1950-51 Dick Tracy TV series. I'm a bit of a Dick Tracy fan and the series did star Ralph Byrd, the definitive screen Dick Tracy. Alas the plot is too conventional and it all looks a bit stodgy. A curiosity more than anything else.

Rod Serling's The Sixteen-Millimetre Shrine, one of my favourite Twilight Zone episodes (1959). A faded movie star (played superbly by Ida Lupino) lives in the past, the past when she was a star.

A wonderful bitter-sweet story. With a terrific twist ending which was copied by a certain well-known film director some years later.
