A night at a Manhattan police station provides the context for Mailer’s second feature in which he plays a morally corrupt Irish cop. Featuring appearances by George Plimpton as the Mayor and Rip Torn as a freewheeling biker, this police procedural was constructed using three camera crews which simultaneously recorded the frenzied scenes of interrogation.
