The Choirboys 1977   R, 119 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Robert Aldrich
Cast: Charles Durning, Louis Gossett Jr., Perry King, Clyde Kusatsu, Stephen Macht, Tim McIntire, Randy Quaid, Don Stroud, James Woods, Robert Webber
Based on a Joseph Wambaugh novel, this story, naturally, is about LA cops. But, this film deviates so widely from the book that Wambaugh disavowed the film version. Foul and obnoxious and a waste of all that talent. 1 User Review
