Cruising (8-Feb-1980)

Writer: William Friedkin

From novel: Cruising by Gerald Walker

Music: Jack Nitzsche

Producer: Jerry Weintraub

Keywords: Crime, Gay, Serial Killer, Rape, Bad Cops, New York

Ambitious police detective Steve Burns is assigned to go undercover to track down a serial killer preying on the gay S&M underworld of 1970s New York City. Only Capt. Edelson, his direct supervisor, is aware of the assignment. Unsettling subject matter, violent and sometimes difficult to watch, though an accurate depiction of this particular pre-AIDS subculture.
