I’m a little late to the party on this one. Didn’t get the email until I arose this morning, albeit early this morning. I was on the verge of passing this week, then decided to cheat a little bit and link to a movie already posted on. COP HATER was the first 87th Precinct novel and this movie was made in 1958.
I’m including a couple of clips this time to show some of the “youthful” players that went on to bigger careers.
The first clip has Robert Loggia as Steve Carelli and Vincent(Vince) Gardenia as Danny Gimp. Look closely and see Gardenia pass Gerald S. O’Loughlin. He’s also in the background and late angles of the second clip.
This clip has Lieutenant Byrnes(Russell Hardie) interviewing a young gang leader, Jerry Orbach.
For Gardenia and Orbach, it was their first credited movie roles.
