Dan Muldoon (John McIntire), the seasoned veteran, and his idealistic young subordinate, Detective Jim Halloran (James Franciscus). The characters for the series' two regular detectives were carried over from the feature film: Lt. Naked City's first season on ABC presented 39 taut, noirish half-hours (31 scripted by Silliphant) that mixed character drama, suspense, and action. This was an ambitious, if not radical, move at this moment in television history, for although New York still retained a significant presence as the site of variety shows, a few live anthologies, and the quiz programs, no other telefilm dramas were being produced there at the time.

It was to be 'a human interest series about New York,' the producer declared, 'told through the eyes of two law enforcement officers.' Leonard's agenda for the series' setting was equally unique: it would be shot completely on location in New York, duplicating the trend-setting realism of its feature film progenitor. Leonard outlined his plan for the series to Variety in 1958 as an attempt to tell anthology-style stories within the framework of a continuing-character show. Independent producer Herbert Leonard ( The Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin, Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers, Circus Boy) developed the idea as a half-hour series for Screen Gems, hiring writer Stirling Silliphant for the pilot script. The series was inspired by the 1948 'semi-documentary' feature, The Naked City (which borrowed its title from the photographic collection by urban documentarist/crime photographer Weegee). More character anthology than police procedural, the series blended the urban policier a la Dragnet with the urban pathos of the Studio One school of television drama, offering a mix of action-adventure and Actors' Studio, car chases and character studies, shoot-outs and sociology, all filmed with arresting starkness on the streets of New York.

Naked City, which had two incarnations between 19, was one of American television's most innovative police shows, and one of its most important and influential drama series.
