As a classic film noir junkie, I’m always prowling
for new material. I came across this and was hooked from the get-go. A rookie
cop looking to climb the ranks and doing whatever it takes to make it happen—oh
hell yes! The plot is solid. The acting is outstanding—Darren McGavin, as the
new recruit, takes it to the hilt. McGavin is one of those forgotten actors, good
in every damn role he played (Christmas Story and The Natural are his most
notable). The supporting cast is right up there as well.
“The Case Against Brooklyn” (1958) is a new favorite and provides insight into what I'm working to achieve in my writing. Check it out—you’ll dig it.
