Dragnet ought to survive this mishap

Nozz

In trying to make Dragnet look ridiculous, this movie-- unlike Stan Freberg's classic parodies-- only makes itself look ridiculous. Itself, and the people who sold such a fine property down the river.  It will take a while for Dragnet to live this down, but Zorro came back after the "Gay Blade" parody and Dragnet too should be back one day, taut and suspenseful.

score 1/10
