I'm The Law (crime drama, starring George Raft)
(Syndicated, 1953)
[This series that was syndicated back in the early
1950's is often mistakenly referred to as --
"I Am The Law". However as an air check of a rare
episode on YouTube clearly shows, the title uses
a contraction, and is correctly, "I'm The Law".]
Theme 1: "Life In New York"
[a piece by this title is credited as the theme, in
the Ray Clark TV Theme collection. There are only two
pieces with this title in ASCAP or BMI, and this is
the only one by a known TV composer]
