As a little kid growing up in the midwest, I always thought of NYC as it's portrayed in P123. A loud, dirty, corrupt place filled with lots of surly, unfriendly people, but with a unique charm all its own.
Some "salty language" in this one (it *is* a film about NYC, after all), but no graphic violence, nudity, etc. in violation of FR posting rules. 8/10.

Great movie. Didn’t care very much for the remake.

Noo Yawkers (I’m a Long Islander, NY, moved away years ago) may best be described as ‘brusque.’ After a while, even the non-natives who live in Manhattan may become brusque.
Always in a hurry, and brusque.

I think they got the atmosphere of NYC in that time period about right. So maybe your thoughts about NYC (based on the movie) weren’t that far off. :)

the movie is a poor adaptation of the novel “The Laughing Policeman” written by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö.
The has little in common with the move. Book better!
