Crime Story - Series One

This first volume of CRIME STORY features the complete first series of 20 episodes plus the original feature-length pilot--directed by Abel Ferrara (BAD LIEUTENANT) and produced by Michael Mann (HEAT, MIAMI VICE). The subsequent television crime drama series has become a cult favourite.
The pilot episode sets the scene: Set in 1963 Chicago, the story centres around a duel between tough cop Mike Torello (Dennis Farina) and slick, ambitious young mobster Ray Luca (Anthony John Denison). As the bullets fly and Luca's lawyer makes sure nothing sticks to his client, Torello descends into a moral abyss, using any dirty tricks he can to bring about the justice that the system doesn't seem to care about. He also grows insanely jealous of his neglected wife (Darlanne Fluegel) and begins to question his own integrity. The stellar cast features David Caruso, a family friend of Torello's working for Luca; Ted Levine; and a young Julia Roberts. The score is by rocker Todd Rundgren. Realistic performances, rich attention to period detail (including lots of classic rhythm and blues blaring from jukeboxes), beautiful photography, and intense action sequences make CRIME STORY a fine addition to the credits of all concerned. The subsequent TV series (the first series included here) lasted two years and is considered by many to be one of the best cop shows of the 1980s.
