The Onion Field
 

Last night on the tube was a double feature of The Onion Field and The New Centurions shown uncut with no commercials.
I read both books in the late 70's but never saw either movie.
Between the movies there was an interview with cast, crew, and Joseph Wambaugh. During the interview they said they made The Onion Field as accurate as the actual event. Both films are worth having a look at.

Saw that but didn't watch it .
Seen it before and it's a good movie. When it first came out I saw it a few times because it was that good.
