COP HATER dvd
(1958)
DIRECTOR: William Berke
STARS: Robert Loggia, Gerald O'Laughlin, Ellen Parker, Jerry Orbach (the "Law and Order" star in his screen debut) and Vincent Gardenia. Based on a novel by Ed McBain.
SYNOPSIS: "Cop Hater" is a great little crime thriller from the 50's with a young Robert Loggia in the lead. He plays a tough cop trying to figure out who's killing members of McBain's infamous 87th Precinct . Adding to the problem is a citywide heatwave that puts nerves on end and girls in skimpy outfits. Some gritty location shooting, realistic police action and a fine supporting performance by Gerald O'Laughlin (as Loggia's partner) make this a winner. Plus you get to see Jerry Orbach in his screen debut as "Mumzer" head of a feared street gang from Brooklyn. He basically has one scene talking with the police chief - but he Steals It! Considering the rarity and age of this one the quality is really good! The first film adaptation of a novel by crime favorite Ed McBain.
