George Peppard in a fedora fighting '30s gangsters? Yes please.
In 1930s Los Angeles, a police detective leads an elite squad against a vicious organized crime ring.
Production
Surprisingly decent period L.A. atmosphere on TV budget.
Acting
Peppard's world-weary charisma carries the whole thing.
Director
Steven Hilliard Stern
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a failed pilot that NBC burned off as a TV movie — Peppard was already 60 playing a hard-boiled detective.
Part of a brief late-'80s wave of revived noir on television, riding the coattails of Chinatown's long shadow and Miller's Crossing to come.
