    • Trivia
      Warner Bros. Television produced the film as a two-hour feature pilot film for CBS-TV, hoping it would get picked up as the first one hour dramatic series to star an African American actor in a solo lead. But the pilot sat on the shelf and aired a year later with an 18.3 rating and 32 share it placed 73rd amongst the 1971-72 season and its middling ratings may have discouraged CBS from picking it up as a weekly series.

    Great TV Movie

    I've been looking for this movie since I first saw it in 1971. I really wish this were released on DVD (along with The Marcus/Nelson Murders") There was a lot of sloppy TV on in the early 70's but this is easily one of the best TV movies ever. I was only 11 when it aired so I don't quite remember the plot, but it's stayed with me ever since.Even as a kid I was struck by the authentic feel of the film and the sincerity of the performances. Robert Hooks was a favorite actor of mine from the period and I would watch whatever he happened to be in. It was movies like this that got me interested in police work and later prompted me to join the NYPD. It truly deserves a DVD release of the highest quality.
