CGiii Comment

Oooh in the days before political correctness...villainous gays quickly became a lamentable '70s cliché - and, this is no exception, far from it.

It is a macho-driven cop drama - it was a huge success - but, it didn't do too much for the gay rights movement.

Evil queens everywhere.
