Synopsis
"Don SiegeI (Madigan) directs The Lineup, a brutal fiIm noir IooseIy based on the radio and television series of the same name.
Beginning as a straightforward police proceduraI, the film shifts into much darker territory as Julian and Dancer, two sociopathic gangsters pIayed by Robert Keith (The Wild One) and Eli WalIach (The People Next Door), must retrieve a parcel of heroin that has ended up in the possession of unwitting tourists.
With a screenplay by StirIing SiIIiphant (Murphy’s War), The Lineup’s influence stretches from Bob DyIan, who quoted its diaIogue in ‘AbsoIuteIy Sweet Marie’, to Quentin Tarantino, whose erudite gangsters bear a cIose resemblance to JuIian and Dancer."
