This is a strange post from Gary. He doesn't mention (unless I missed it) and seems unaware of the fact that the series was based on the 1948 feature film of the same name, starring Barry Fitzgerald as Muldoon & Don Taylor as Halloran. The film, directed by Jules Dassin, was much praised for its location shooting in New York. Same voice-over narration, same "8 million stories" tagline. It shows up on TCM with some frequency. It's a cool movie, but I can't stand the way Fitzgerald lays on the Irish cute with a shovel - this ain't Going My Way. Art Scott

IMHO, the best crime drama series ever on TV.
So Niebhur has finally gotten away from the weird found art posts. Good.

As many movies as Gary watches, you'd think he'd be aware of that one.
