Three Generations of Police Officers, 5 May 1999
10/10
Author: Patrick R. Pearsey (prp48@hotmail.com) from Indianapolis, IN.

This is a movie for t.v. that I remember enjoying very much. Some of it was very familiar as my family also has three generations of police officers. In the plot, the grandfather (Scott Brady), a brutal, old fashioned cop, meets his demise during an ill fated liason with a prostitute while on duty. His son, played by Darren McGavin, rises to high rank in the New York police department and has to deal with various issues, corruption, anti-semetism and his own son, who as a rookie cop, is shocked by the racism on the department. This movie was very realistic to me and would have made a good television series I believe.
