Yapped edges of covers lightly creased. Script has on title page the name of Phil Leto, who was the film’s hair stylist. A number of pages have penciled markings but no notes. Just about fine in near fine wrappers.

An emotionally devastating neo-noir movie, with a letter perfect performance from Treat Williams in the titular role of Danny Ciello, a young cop who sees corruption around him and eventually destroys the lives of all his friends and partners, basically out of a sense of Catholic guilt. The authorities initially promise to protect him and his partners but eventually they keep none of those promises. Spicer, p. 434.
