While watching this there was something very familiar. The actor reminds me of William Conrad, who protrayed Matt Dillion in the radio version of Gunsmoke. He also starred in TV Jake and the Fatman and Cannon, another TV detective show. In the movie, the character using his large girth to his advantage, especially in the dance scene with Julie London. Oh, I almost forgot Roy is played by Rock Hudson. You can see what made him a super star later on. By the way Rock real name was Roy. The movie uses flashbacks focusing on Rock. I think the creators knew they had a future star. The show is a ok watch if you don't have anything better to do.
