Serpico (1973)
130 minutes, USA
Director: Sidney Lumet
Cast: Al Pacino, Barbara Eda-Young
Adapted from a book by Paul Maas about Frank Serpico, a real-life New York City cop who refused to become compromised by corrupt colleagues. Serpico was a loner and maverick whose struggle to maintain his integrity helped expose widespread corruption. His fight for justice imposed a high price on his personal life, as well as his career. The film was a major stepping-stone for a young Al Pacino and was a milestone in the cinema of the 1970s. The depiction of Manhattan before gentrification is gritty. The soundtrack was composed by Mikis Theodorakis.
