A movie about a good cop.."Serpico"

True story about a good cop & what happens to him. Quite sad, but totally true.

"An honest New York cop named Frank Serpico blows the whistle on rampant corruption in the force only to have his comrades turn against him."......from IMBD...Internet Movie Data Base.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070666/

Warning: This is a great movie, but..not a feel good move
Al Pacino is outstanding as Serpico.

I'm the same age as "Ben-Hur."...the Heston flick, not the silent one featuring Francis X. Bushman. Now, THAT'S an old movie.
