Great actors, story and director. All rest in peace as they have left the stage. Thank you all for your work and entertainment. 😎

The TV show was a slap in the face for this movie

[@Joe-d7m6k]

Not really--- it's just that this movie is so perfect, that ANYTHING else pales by comparison.

That's one of the best WHAM lines in cinematic history. 😆

Unbelievable movie

Booooo. You cut out the best part when the other cop gets shown the badge. "YEAAAAAAH! OH YEAH!!!"

[@mtsflorida]

I spent 40 yrs as a police officer and not once did I get asked what I'm doing carrying so much and that a white man in my town can't make that kind of money so I can say I'm a police officer. I too was the top detective working a lot of homicides as the primary investigator.

[@jeffnaslund]

Were you a black man, the top detective for homicide in Philadelphia, in the late 1960s south? This is set in 1966 Mississippi, the last state to ratify the 13th amendment. And they did that fairly recently. Walk in those shoes and please rethink your comment.

We're not supposed to be making that much money because we're Black.

Hmmm, I think we got the drift.

The TV show was a joke

[@patricebest545]

Rod Steiger looks at his badge Stopped in his tracks now his big mouth shut Now don't you feel foolish??

[@jenniferweston7621]

Not that he'd ever admit it... but yeah, that clearly took the wind out of his sails.

[@snowrocket]

Not the best clip because you cut it too short! It gets better when Officer Woods is called into Gillespie's office. THAT'S the REALLY fun part of this scene!

[@BernardKeenan-kl7rd]

The Best scene ever
