Savalas-three-piece suits, thick stogie, shaved head and all-makes the most of it, giving the kind of magnetic, idiosyncratic performance that can carry a show. He is aided by scripts and direction that reveal a sharp feeling for the city's tough lingo, roach-infested tenements and lurid neon street scenes.
