Serpico
Double Feature with KING KONG ’76 (1:00, 6:30)
1973 • dir Sidney Lumet w/Al Pacino • 130 min • 35mm
The story of a New York City cop (Pacino) who fights to expose the rampant corruption in the department. SERPICO is just the right kind of film for a De Laurentiis production: prestigious but not big budget with a plot that verges on, but isn’t really, exploitation. And, indeed, this was one of his big successes of the 1970s – a critical and audience favorite.
