Description:

In Philadelphia in the late 1960s and 1970s, It seemed everyone was afraid. Some were afraid of crime, while others were afraid of the police. Presiding over it all was Francis Lazarro “Frank” Rizzo, a towering figure who rose from tough cop on the beat, to law and order police commissioner, to controversial mayor of America’s (then) fourth largest city. The 75-minute AMATEUR NIGHT AT CITY HALL captures, forever, that tumultuous time and place, and the unique politician who made both his own. Newly remastered. “The New Objectivity. Balanced. Most absorbing.” - John J. O’Connor, New York Times Please contact footage@globalimageworks.com for licensing or a screener of the entire film.
