Dirty Ernie Returns on Dragnet as TV Weekend Gem
HAL HUMPHREY notes that the Dragnet revival features Sid Miller as a friendly drunk in a memorable close up. Miller, who helped popularize Dirty Ernie in 1954, hopes to return to acting, while Webb keeps a stock company of familiar Dragnet actors and continues the show's restrained, sharp style in color.
