Review of Straight Time (1978) by Wendell F — 02 Feb 2018

I just saw this movie on February 1, 2018. This was really a gritty movie about crime and its diverse aspects. It also demonstrated how that power hungry officials can complicate, if not destroy, the life a criminal who has done his time, and wants to make a decent life for himself.

Dustin Hoffman was outstanding and so was M. Emment Walsh, Max Dembo's parole officer. The photography was superb of life in L.A. of the 1970's. I highly recommend this film.
