Genres: Classics, Drama, Suspense/Crime

Aroview: Arresting crime drama set on the segregated streets of East Harlem and focused on a district attorney investigating the murder of a blind Puerto Rican boy supposedly by a trio of Italian teens. Stylised yet oddly mechanical drama loosely based on the 1959 Hell's Kitchen killings, that features a notable cast line-up.

2 stars (Good Try) The screenplay is serviceable but it does have some memorable New York street scenes, particularly at the opening of the film. ~Tubbs
