What Street Smart is
Manhattan night. Distant sirens. A typewriter clacking. Journalist makes up a pimp for a story. The fiction too closely resembles an actual, dangerous man facing trial. Soon the writer is caught between the law and the streets. Schatzberg’s late-period crime films have a bitter aftertaste.
