Laugh until it hurts.

Willie and Cy are buddies having the laugh of their lives playing amateur cops. But it's no laughing matter.

Willie and Cy are euphoric; this lasts just long enough for Cy to be killed. Constantly changing its tone and point of view, Law and Disorder struck just the right nihilistic note in the 1970s. Modern viewers may not be quite as responsive, though many will cheer Willie's final act of defiance against the Big Apple.

Release Date: October 9, 1974 @ the Coronet and Little Carnegie , Manhattan

Although he had made many films before his success as Archie Bunker on All in the Family, LAW AND DISORDER was Carroll O'Conner's first-and last -starring role in a feature.
