The Laughing Policeman (1973)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 112m
Director: Stuart Rosenberg
Cast: Walter Matthau, Bruce Dern, Louis Gossett Jr.

Synopsis:

A San Francisco police detective is one of those machine gunned on a bus in a mass killing, and his former partner and another detective team up to establish whether there was a motive.

Review:

Overlong drama exposing the seamier side of police work, a trend that continued from The French Connection right through the decade. It is raised above the downbeat excesses of others of its ilk by the ambivalent presence of Walter Matthau, who delivers a fine dramatic performance.
