it's not talketive.

watched THE GREAT KING 1942 AND BISMARK 1941 this last two weeks though. great movies. nazi fiction propaganda films (the ones who weren't antisemite atleast) were better and more sophisticated then hitchock spy movies, for exmple.

Have you seen Serpico, Sidney Lumet's other classic police corruption movie? I liked Prince of the City, but I'd rank Serpico ahead of it.

Iv'e seen all lumet's films about police corruption.
Q & A and night falls are also good.

what makes serpico better in your eyes?

prince is less sentimental. has much greater scope. the themes expose themself more intelligently and creatively.

They're both great movies about police corruption for sure, but in short, Serpico is more watchable to me. In other words, it offers a more cinematic experience. It shows more than it tells while I feel that Prince of the City does the opposite. That movie's most prominent image to me is one of men having long discussions in meeting rooms. Serpico made me think and feel about police corruption and its lead character's dilemma, but Prince mostly just made me think. I guess that sounds kind of shallow, and as you put it, sentimental, but Serpico provides more of what I want out of the movie-watching experience than Prince of the City does.

For what it's worth, I really like Treat Williams' performance in Prince of the City and have no problem with its nearly 3-hour length, which are sticking points for a lot of people who don't like it.
