Little Murders (1971) Trailer

A great movie for those who understand its humor ! ! !

One of the early "New York as hell" movies, which were common in the 1970s. In real life, New York City was collapsing and decaying, and it was scary.

There's a pretty-good essay on the subgenre in the latest "Vice" magazine. It actually inspired me to start collecting films like this, "Vice Squad, " "Escape from New York, " Death Wish" and so on.

What were some of the others?

Other "New York City as hell" movies that I can think of quickly include: "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three", "French Connection", "The Seven-Ups", "The Out of Towners", and the one whose name I can't think of, which was about various youth gangs who fought with each other on the subways, who dressed in different types of outfits, like baseball uniforms (it was a sort of futuristic fantasy.)

Earlier movies: "Blackboard Jungle" and "West Side Story" also de-glamorize NYC a lot.

The Warriors

I'm defiantly going to see this movie.

I've just seen the wedding scene, i think i'm in love with donald sutherland

i watched this movie! it was not bad, but i cant tell you what it is abbout...... i kneo the end was drama! but the movie is good......

I don't remember Little Murders being that ham-fistedly madcap, but whatever. Vincent Gardenia is complete money.
