Lou Antonio, great character actor & star of cop series "Dog & Cat"(w. Kim Basinger) & "Makin' It", was looney henchman to looney Robt. Duval in Naked City's "Hole in the City." Ed Asner ( w. hair) was Lt. Vince Busi, who got severely wounded in shootout w. Duval, Antonio & Co. — PolitiTweet.org

In Naked City's "A Hole in the City," Sylvia Sydney, ex-wife of Luther Adler & part of a century-plus-old acting dynasty, oozed strength & courage as the aunt of sadistic killer Lewis Munda (played convincingly by Robt. Duval). — PolitiTweet.org

Thrilling opening of Naked City's "A Hole in the City," in which Lt. Parker leads his men of the 65th Pct in hot pursuit of Lewis Munda's gang that robbed an armored car that morning & then has shoot-out outside Yankee Stadium. — PolitiTweet.org

Lewis Munda, arch-criminal in Season 2, Episode 13 of "Naked City" (A Hole in the City) robbed his sister of $ she saved for a sweet 16 dress, wldn't go to parents' grave after learning he had to take subway & bus, & murdered 8 people--& Ronert Duval played him like a virtuoso! — PolitiTweet.org

@stevehosid Whoa! Who claimed he did? — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
In light of recent events, I love Naked City's "Bullets Cost Too Much"--Det. Adam Flint is excoriated by pub owner & press for failure to draw his gun & shoot robbers as robbery is going on. He feared hurting innocent people & later bartender thanks him for saving his life. — PolitiTweet.org

@stevehosid Did he really write "Pallisades Park?" — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
Holy Smokes! In Naked City Season 2. Episode 10, "Bullets Cost Too Much," Det. Adam Flint is trying to tell bar-owner Jean Stapleton--that's right, Edith Bunker--to close her joint on time &, suddenly, it is robbed by 3 masked. men--two of whom are Bruce Dern & "Jimmy" Caan! — PolitiTweet.org

@stevehosid Go to Google & put in title of show & episode. They're all there--all "8 M stories." Perhaps someone will explain why, w. ratings soaring & several sponsors, ABC canceled series in 1964 (ABC was considered the cellar of networks & 4 yrs later, was nearly bought by Howard Hughes). — PolitiTweet.org

@stevehosid Lunch w. Cagney on a weekly basis! It doesn't get better than that! It is so sad Doyle died at 67 of a heart attack--& this makes me aware of my mortality & increasingly careful. — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
"Naked City" was the show for up-&-comers. In "Murder is a Face I Know," mob enforcer is Malachai Throne, Falseface on Batman & Noah Bain on "It Takes A Thief." (Author Hal Lindsay used to tell me of his friendship w. Catholic writer Malachi Martin, but kept calling him "Throne") — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
As basketball coach Mr. Moore in Naked City's " Murder is a Face I Know" is David Doyle--famed on "Charlie's Angels" as John Bosley, a character he insisted be named for Tom Bosley (because Doyle was his understudy when he starred as LaGuardia in Broadway hit "Fiorello"). — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
Powerful acting in Naked City's Season 2, Episode 11c "Murder is a Face I Know"--Theodore Bikel.mob hitman Nicholas Roginsky, has real chemistry w. wife (star acting coach Prggy Feury) as wife who explains they left Poland 'cause he killed someone & Keir Dullea as faithful son — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
As I prepare to watch Naked City, Season 2, Episode 10, "Bullets Cost Too Much," I happily note the guest star is great character actor Theodore Bikel & recall w. gratitude how @linda_feldmann mentioned my praise for his performance in Twilight Zone when she dined w. him in 2014. — PolitiTweet.org

In Naked City's "The Man Who Bit A Diamond," diamond-obsessed crook Luther Adler's dirty work is done by henchman Michael Conrad--famed as Sgt. Phil Esterhaus on "Hill Street Blues," whose actual death in 1983 was written into series as Sht. Phil "dying in the saddle." — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
Luther Adler was a force of nature (as he usually was in anything) as "The Man Who Bit A Diamond" in Naked City, Season 2, Episode 8. & Walter Matthau was a virtuoso playing the arrogant wealthy man who finally tires of his gokd-digger wife. — PolitiTweet.org

@stevehosid I sure do. Schwab's. — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
In Naked City, "Debt of Honor," loved the way Lt. Parker leads raid on home of 2 robbers who killed a guy while robbing a poker game. Cops pose as window washer & carpenter & then storm the joint. They got them, but, contrary to Lt's wishes, not alive. — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
Plot of Naked City's "Human Trap" is a thinly-disguised twist of the death of Lana Turner's boyfriend Johnny Stumpenato ( which occurred on Good Friday, 1959, just a yr. before this show)--this time, the blousy mother takes rap for errant daughter stabbing lush lover. — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
Naked City, Season 2, Episode 7. " The Human Trap"--we all know Jack Lord today as straight-arrow cop McGarrett, but 8 yrs. before "HA-5-0," he was fearsome & convincing as a hard-nosed mobster & lovely Ruth Roman as his hard-bitten ex-wife. Powerful acting! — PolitiTweet.org

@DCwine1 Tell you what...when I'm challenged on a fact, I research. Later, I will re-read the part of his book "Chief" (personally signed to me) on chokeholds. Chief Ed Davis, the father of community policing, never moved on chokeholds. — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
@DCwine1 Daryl Gates ended the chokehold long before doing so was fashionable. And remember--he earned the chief's badge fair & square by scoring on the civil service exam established by the legendary Chief Bill Parker. — PolitiTweet.org

@PHGarey Daryl Gates invented SWAT--& it worked. — PolitiTweet.org

@DCwine1 And his Ass't Chief Jesse Brewer was the highest ranked black on the LAPD. — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
@MrLarrySmathers If Daryl had retired in 1988--his 40th yr. on LAPD--my friend Bob Vernon almost surely would've become chief (he topped Daryl in the written exam, but trailed in the orals) & the saga of the '92 riots would have been different. — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
@thesum I agree with that. — PolitiTweet.org
