justice from the Los
Angeles Police
Department. And two of
the finest of L.A.'s Finest
are about to begin finding
out the facts of this
potentially calamitous
caper.
Just the facts, Ma'am.
It's deadly business -
but it's not serious -
with Dan Aykroyd as the
namesake nephew of
Detective Sergeant Joe
Friday and Tom Hanks as
his hip partner Pep
Streebek in Universal
Pictures' action-comedy,

Mankiewicz. "With utmost
reverence toward our
source material, we've
created new characters
and a plot of much
grander scale than
anything the TV show
could ever have
attempted"
Aykroyd, whose former
starring vehicles include
the box office smashes
"Ghostbusters" and
"Trading Places;' most
recently teamed with
Chevy Chase in the
comedy "Spies Like Us"
The actor fulfills a

loved the idea of working
with Dan and I liked the
character of Streebek.
He's loose, quick, a little
unconventional: the
perfect balance to
Friday'
Starring with Aykroyd
and Hanks are veterans
Christopher Plummer as
the ambitious Reverend
Whirley and Dabney
Coleman as porn king
Jerry Caesar.
Rounding out the
starring cast, Harry
Morgan reprises his role
as Bill Gannon, Joe
Friday's partner in the
1960's television program
whose years of service
have now earned him the
rank of captain.
Co-starring are
Alexandra Paul as the
chaste, charming Connie
Swail, Elizabeth Ashley as
the austere police
commissioner Jane
Kirkpatrick, and Jack
O'Halloran as the sinister
saboteur Emil Muzz.
Filming took place at
various locations
throughout Los Angeles
and on sound stages at
Universal Studios.
The character Joe
Friday was first
introduced on the radio
program "Dragnet" by
Detroit station WXYZ in

1949. As conceived by
Jack Webb, the show was
based on real police cases
and procedures. This
brought an innovative
contrast to the caricature
cops who were then
dominating the airwaves.
The entertainment
world's most recognizable
four note theme ("Dum-
De-Dum-Dum") heralded
the series' television
debut on December 16,
1951. It ran for seven and
a half years, then left the
air to return again in
January of 1967 before
reciting its ultimate
epilogue in September,
1970.
This summer, Universal
Pictures will add a
comedic new chapter to
this venerable law
enforcement legacy when
Dan Aykroyd and Tom
Hanks team in the action-
comedy "Dragnet 1987"
And, in a joint
promotional effort,
Universal has also
teamed-up with Miller
Genuine Draft, the
popular new premium
beer from the Miller
Brewing Company, to
offer people the chance
to win genuine movie

props from the set of
"Dragnet 1987". As a
spokesperson for
Universal Studios stated,
"We are aware that there
is a real strong desire out
there for genuine movie
articles. You simply would
not believe the amount of
interest people would
have shown in owning, for
instance, items that
appeared in movies like
'E.T.' and 'Back To The
Future'." To capitalize on
this exciting idea, Miller
Genuine Draft and
Universal Studios will
offer people the chance
to win such highly desired
items as a Corvette
convertible or even the
BMW motorcycle driven
by Tom Hanks in
"Dragnet 1987". Point-of-
sale displays featuring
complete "Dragnet 1987"
promotion details will be
available this summer
wherever Miller Genuine

"I've had a fascination
with Joe Friday since I
was a kid;' says Aykroyd.
"Next to Clouseau, he's
the most famous cop in
the world. I've studied his
speech inflections, his
mannerisms, his walk. If
there was ever a
character I'd always
wanted to play, it was this
one.
