## Description

The Laughing Policeman (1973) [Blu-ray] Eight people know who the killer is... and they re all dead! It's tough beat for San Francisco police lieutenant Jake Martin (Walter Matthau, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three) when he has to investigate a city bus massacre in which a madman opened machine gunfire on eight people. It's even worse when Martin discovers his former partner is one of the victims. But as he investigates the grisly murders, Martin not only discovers unsavory things about his partner, but he finds that many of the victims had shady lives, which shrouds the killer's identity even more. Veteran Hollywood filmmaker Stuart Rosenberg (Cool Hand Luke) directed this action-packed thriller with an amazing cast that includes Bruce Dern (Coming Home), Louis Gossett Jr. (Finders Keepers), Cathy Lee Crosby (Wonder Woman), Anthony Zerbe (They Call Me Mister Tibbs!), Joanna Cassidy (The Package) Val Avery (The Wanderers), Mario Gallo (Revenge of the Ninja) and Paul Koslo (Mr. Majestyk). Bonus Features: Audio Commentary by Lee Pfeiffer, Ppublisher of Cinema Retro Magazine with Film Historians Eddy Friedfeld and Paul Scrabo Trailers

Review: Nice cop film with Mathau and Dern, directed by Stuart Rosenberg. - I had seen this film in the theaters when it came out and always tried to see it when it was on tv. Mathau and Dern are two cops on a murder case and it was fine film. I always looked for movies directed by Stuart Rosenberg after I saw Cool Hand Luke and this is one of the many of his films which I own. Quick delivery and no defects with the dvd. Very satisfied.
Review: Decent quality DVD - I had hoped the DVD had subtitles since I have a hearing problem. I could not tell if it did, but I have not seen the film in years and wanted to watch it again and add it to my collection. It does not have captions and that is OK. The quality of the image is very good. There are a few points in the film where screen freezes, then jitters, and finally continues. Not a big deal and it may be my equipment; I have no way of knowing what causes this. Far more interesting to me is that I liked this movie years ago and now it seems very dated, clumsy in the dialogue, and Jake Martin, the main character, is very different from the detective in the novel. This has nothing to do with the seller, but is a comment on how the movie was produced and directed. I read, and still have, all of the Martin Beck novels, and this one is a very good book. For some reason, the screenwriter decided to make the protagonist a weak person. Both Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern play terribly flawed men who are bumbling idiots more than being serious detectives.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOBODY IS LAUGHING AT THIS POLICEMAN!
*by J***L on May 31, 2020*

20th Century Fox's "THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN" (1973) was a grand crime-drama for Walter Matthau, almost rivaling another San Francisco cop, Dirty Harry, but keeping on a focused story about a deranged mass-murderer shooter who leaves his handy work on a city bus filled with bullet-ridden corpses! with a cast headed by Bruce Dern, Louis Gossett Jr, and Cathy Lee Crosby, one year before her debut as "Wonder Woman" on ABC Movie Of The Week in March 1974 gave "THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN" one of the most strongest and violent crime dramas in 70s cinema, but one year before the United Artists/Palomar Pictures release, "THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1 2 3" that Matthau also starred in, that was an even bigger and higher hit! no laughter in this movie, but strong violence that is not for the faint of heart! look for appearances by Anthony Zerbe ("THE OMEGA MAN") and Joanna Cassidy ("BLADE RUNNER") which also co-star in this Stuart Rosenberg directed thriller, along with noted character actor Albert Paulsen ("THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE") as the mass shooter. I rated this 1973 movie five-stars for its gritty, no-nonsense realism in movie crime dramas, and a change of venue for Walter Matthau, after "CHARLEY VERRICK" ( 1973)
