Police Story: Officer Dooly (1976)
Compassion behind the Badge
Doo-Little.. Officer Dooly stuck in an "R" car, diligently writing reports all day wants nothing more but to be rolling the streets in an "A" car with a partner. "Don't make waves". Dooly rides a roller coaster of over the top police work situations in spite of his normal R Car duties. This was not exactly the typical hard hitting Police Story from the TV series. Officer Dooly takes a human approach to policing the streets especially of Los Angeles Ca. For most of the line officers familiar with Officer Dooly, his methods are a bit too social worker, but he gets results on the street and works his own ideology of what a peace officer should be.
The Blue Knight (1975)
We miss the big brut
Ah yes, the days when it was not fashion to wear the blue suit and white socks. George Kennedy brings it home to a gripping reality, of prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, thugs, death, and violence in the street. George Kennedy had a way of making you believe the situation and character portrayed. Many method actors couldn't get their "star-persona" out of the way long enough to get that fact in itself. Bumper Morgan could take time out of his personal life and patrol duty life to protect what he felt was "his beat". He took it personal, and he made a difference. It never took a village, only people that would sacrifice their very lives to make a difference. Any other T. V. or hollywood copper movie and I would have never gotten that emotionally involved.
