Jack Webb will always be remembered as the poker-faced detective Joe Friday on Dragnet. He was also the show's creator, director, and producer. This biography chronicles the life and career of one of radio and television's brightest lights. He used his vision and iron will to bring Dragnet to the screen. He also was the creator of other popular shows, including Adam-12 and Emergency! Archival clips show some of Webb's best work. Interviews with family, friends, and colleagues speak to the private side of the man, where his self-acknowledged perfectionism took its toll. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
