ba oe SR -s pays pride of the City demands undivided attention by Terry Dupuis Earlier this year Paul Newman and Ed Asner played New York cops in a police drama called FORT APACHE THE BRONX. A main thread of the plot emcemned Newman's tough decision over whether or not to inform on a fellow officer. The subject of police corruption in New York City is again the topic of a new movie called PRINCE OF THE CITY. Bul there -the similarity ends. Whereas FORT APACHE was a loosely constructed and rambling narrative in which police corruption was dealt with almost as a superficial side issue. PRINCE OF THE CITY confronts this same topic head-on, and never strays from its mai. focus. FORT APACHE also had some in- congruous comedy scenes thrown into it, whereas PRINCE OF THE CITY remains realistic if somewhat grim. PRINCE OF THE CITY is definitely the better of the two films, and maybe the best police drama ever filmed. Treat Williams stars as an honest conscientious police detective who decides to accumulate evidence for the Knapp Commission on Organized Crime. This idealistic officer realizes he is cooperating with powerful government authorities, but he makes the mistake of thinking he will be able to contro] the circumstances of his involvement. : Officer Danny Ciello starts off by saying there are certain lines he won't cross. His terms are accepted, but things get out of hand and he is pushed so hard that he crosses those lines. Ciello's decision proves to be catastrophic both for himself and his family and his colleagues. The corruption is so far-reaching, that out - of 70 of his colleagues, 52 are indicted, two commit suicide and one goes mad. And the shocking thing is that this movie is based on a real-life story. Ciello is based on a New York cop named Bob Leuci, and the only changes made in the characters and events of the film were changes that were necessitated for legal purposes. It is filting that PRINCE OF THE CITY should have been directed by Sydney Lumet. He knows New York City better than probably any other film maker, having shot 17 of his 28 movies there over the years. Lumet always puts the city's Flos Sa ue of) eis Thurs.-Fri.-Sat.

He did this most notably in SERPICO and DOG DAY AF- TERNOON, and he does it again in PRINCE OF THE CITY. PRINCE OF THE CITY may be the most ambitious of all of them, running close to three hours in length and containing an extremely large number of characters who figure in the complex story. The film also makes great demands upon its star, Treat Williams who as Officer Danny Ciello is in a large majority of the scenes. But Mr. Williams rises to the oc- easion and delivers one of the year's most outstanding performances. The Family Bucket Special Nov.
