    Thank you for uploading all of these episodes of WIllie Dante with Dick Powell. I just love watching him act - what a professional. And it's great to see all of the other great actors that were in these episodes. I really enjoy this era (1950s) of film.

    Dante's Inferno -- I can't thank you enough for these episodes, all of which I first saw when I was a kid in New York City, but I don't remember which of the networks carried it in the early '50's (well it might have been ABC, Channel 7 in NYC). In later years I owned a Jag XK 120M coupe like the one featured with the eponymous Dante driving it in these episodes.

Dick Powel did it all the time, so did John wayne, they were in essence drug pushers and that cannot be denied, sure it was legal at the time but it was ALWAYS immoral.....Audie Murphy always refused to partake in it cos it set a bad example for young kids, as they say in the classics "just the facts ma'am, just the facts!"
