So Fine may not be considered his finest movie, but some of us appreciated his work.

My Favorite was N.Y.P.D. (no, not NYPD Blue). I loved the way that show opened with the camera mounted on the roof of the patrol car Bubble Gum Ball Light roatating away as the car raced down the streets of New York. It was gritty, shot on location with the feel of a 1960's news "Film at 11" type broadcast. The sound of the show when they were out on the street, you could hear everything ,kids down the street playing, people walking, car horns. Jack Warden was the hardnose experienced detective Mike Haines and Frank Converse as the younger less experienced Detective, Johnny Corso. The only show of recent vintage that came close was "Homicide" I think that show's style was a direct copy of N.Y.P.D.

Quote from TV.com which I'm sure got this from some other uncredited source.
"This series paints a tough, realistic portrait of the work of the New York City Police Department. Filmed on location, N.Y.P.D. utilizes the highly mobile hand-held camera and stream-of-consciousness narrative."

Watched "Run Silent Run Deep" tonight with the wife. A younger Jack gave a fine performance as Kraut Mueller.

Jack Warden R.I.P. you will be missed.
