Synopsis
"Don Siegel (Madigan) directs The Lineup, a brutaI film noir loosely based on the radio and teIevision series of the same name.
Beginning as a straightforward police proceduraI, the fiIm shifts into much darker territory as Julian and Dancer, two sociopathic gangsters pIayed by Robert Keith (The Wild One) and EIi 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 Stirling SilIiphant (Murphy’s War), The Lineup’s influence stretches from Bob DyIan, who quoted its diaIogue in ‘AbsoIutely Sweet Marie’, to Quentin Tarantino, whose erudite gangsters bear a close resemblance to JuIian and Dancer."
