I loved the TV series Crime Story and the music.

Also loved the film “Thief” where a lot of the same Chicago actors played roles, some of them ex-cops.

I’ve seen that CS intro a million times. Love it! Thief was a GREAT movie; you know they were both Michael Mann projects, as was Miami Vice.

Also, my daily drive is the same car Caan uses in thief — he has an 81 Eldorado, I have an 83.

I'd put the premiere episode of 'Crime Story' up against any 1st run movie in the theaters.

First season of the show was incredible. Probably some of the best dramatic TV put out in the 80s. Then, I think the writers changed.....it quickly went in the tank.

They recently released the entire season on DVD. I picked it up and watched it. Still think it's great. Great sets, great costumes, great cars!

It was thought that this song being on CRIME STORY would give Del Shannon a “comeback”. The he committed suicide.
