A Change of Pace for Friday & Gannon
Of course, when I think of Mr Jack Webb and Mr Harry Morgan, I think of one thing: Law & Order! But in the 1951 film Appointment With Danger, they both played lowlife criminals! Making this violent scene all the more shocking is that Webb portrays a character named ‘Joe!’
Now this can’t possibly be Joe Friday, of course, but seeing Joe deal his own brand of underworld problem-solving on a fallen Harry Morgan, who pleads to ‘Joe’ for mercy, is nonetheless disturbing!
Wow. And whuppin’ him with his own kid’s baby shoe!! I think even Vic Mackey would wince at this one. Let’s all be glad that Sgt. Joe Friday channels his dark side to the side of the Law!

Jaytee,
This scene is really shocking, punctuated by Harry Morgan pleading for his life to ‘Joe.’ Needless to say, it gives me the creeps!
