"One addition to your list that I believe is widely
overlooked but was very influencial. That is Mark Hellinger's
final movie "The Naked City" in 1948. It followed the police
point of view, featured NYC location filming (rare in those
days), and had to have been a big influence on Jack Webb. It
was in this movie that the "Dum-De-Dum-Dum music theme had
its birth."
Also in 1948 was the police procedural movie He Walked By
Night, which followes the step-by-step investigation of a cop
killer. It featured Jack Webb as a forensics scientist.
