It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I remember this movie from the 70's. Mercedes McCambridge's performance has stuck with me all these years. I can still hear her singing "my hands are clean, my hands are clean and hey noni noni noni". If you saw the movie that will bring back memories. Yes, great buddy cop flick. The two lead actors had a great camaraderie. Someone killed Walter Brennan's family and just disappeared. For a small screen movie it was very good. The acting was very good. It was very suspenseful as you watched these two cops investigate and try to figure out how someone could kill a whole family and just disappear. I wish I could find this somewhere to watch again. Very satisfying.

Saw this exactly once, when it aired three decades ago, and it's really managed to linger. Superb cast in a genuinely creepy and involving mystery thriller. The then-trendy "buddy police procedural" approach, that the title suggests, is so incidental to the true tone that it seems written in to sell the thing, while the macabre storyline is what barrels along to the jarring conclusion. After all these years it's more a case of highlights and impressions I recall, but it had the aura of something that could've been a successful theatrical release, rather than just another M.O.W. that's been lost to time. Pity it wasn't written and produced 15 or 20 years earlier -- doubtless would've been a noir with major cult status.Any leads on tracking this one down will be most welcome.

I was a teenager watching this great TV flick in the 70s. McCambridge's performance as a crazed killer was a memorable balance of restraint, intensity, passion and timing. Wish I could find this on tape.

Somebody murdered Walter Brennan's relative. As it turns out, the killer is wanted for a crime he committed several years ago, but has not been captured. Two detectives become private eyes hoping to catch the killer before Brennan can get his vigilante revenge. The acting is marvelous, and the scenes between Richard Dreyfuss and Mercedes McCambridge are stand-outs. This movie used to be re-run in the 1970's, and I wish it would be shown again.
