THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK (1971) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Jerry Schatzberg

Written by - Joan Didion, John Gregory Dunne (based on a book by James Mills)

Starring - Al Pacino, Kitty Winn

"The story of the romance between two heroin addicts in New York in the seventies. Celebrated as the first great big screen performance by Al Pacino, the impact of the grit and realism of Schatzberg's film wanes and weakens as the film progresses and its lack of narrative direction starts to show quite prominently."
