No one knew she was an undercover policewoman. Including the detective who killed her. He wasn't just fighting crime - he was fighting his superiors! "A superb suspense drama". Variety This powerful, thought-provoking police thriller, called the Daily Mirror, "Vivid, disturbing, gripping stuff", boasts a brilliant performance by Michael Moriarty as a naive and idealistic young rookie cop drawn into the dangerous world of drug dealing, finally to be destroyed by the corruption inside the Police Department. Moriarty becomes a policeman to please his father and is assigned to work under cover in Time's Square with his father's old partner Yaphet Kotto. When he sees a young woman, Susan Blakely, hanging out with a black gang, Kotto refuses to let him interfere. And, when Moriarty later accidentally kills Blakely in a blazing gun battle with the hoodlums, he discovers the terrible truth. She was an undercover policewoman, posing as a runaway drug addict in order to infiltrate New York's dope racket and bring a narcotics czar to justice. In the resulting investigation, when his superiors are forced to make a report to the Comissioner on Blakely's death, Moriarty is sacrificed by the Police Department in order to cover up their intrigues and double dealing... In addition to fine portrayals by Moriarty, Kotto and Blakely, there are first rate performances from a strong supporting cast. © United Artists Corp
