...Angeles is home base, where he lives with Anjelica Huston, daughter of Director John Huston (a co-star in Chinatown). From there, he and Anjelica, whom he calls Tootman, make frequent lavish forays to New York and Paris, where there are good shops, restaurants and many friends, and to Switzerland, where he likes...
...ambitious industrialization plans. Hardly a week goes by without new commitments to mutual ventures or economic assistance to less developed countries, and one estimate is that the program already has resulted in outlays of some $9 billion. Iran and Krupp plan to set up a joint investment bank in Switzerland to finance projects outside West Germany.

In one sense, the story is a psychological Romeo and Juliet: his family of assumptions and hers won't let their loves come together. There's also a element of class...
...requisite amount of action and violence, but it also has more than its share of intelligence. The most amazing thing about the movie is how much Al Pacino (who's very good in the title role) looks like the real Frank Serpico. Serpico flew in from Switzerland a few months ago to endorse Ramsey Clark's Senate bid in New York and had people wondering why The New York Times was running Pacino's picture on the front page. Eddie Coyle, about the life of lower-echelon thugs in Boston, stars Robert Mitchum and is surprisingly well done...
