Every Dragnet fan should see the Oscar-nominated L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, an adaptation of the great James Ellroy book portraying 1950's L.A. It includes a fictional TV show called "Badge of Honor" which is modeled after Dragnet. The opening of the show, as seen on a TV in the background in one scene, looks just like the opening of Dragnet (with a large LAPD badge). There's also a scene showing the fictional show being filmed, and the hero interrupts a rambling character to say "Please-- just the facts, ma'am." L.A. CONFIDENTIAL was easily one of the best movies of 1997 (regardless of its passing Dragnet references).
