Incident in an Alley

It just shows that you don&apos;t need a large budget to make a good film.

&quot;Incident in an Alley&quot; is a very simply made film. The budget was small and the actors are mostly faces you won&apos;t recognize. However, because it has good writing and surprisingly good writing and direction, it&apos;s well worth your time.

The film begins with a burglary in progress. The police show up and suddenly teen delinquents are running about everywhere. In the confusion, one cop, Bill Joddy (Chris Warfield) repeatedly tells one of the gang to halt. Eventually, he fires warning shots and somehow a younger teen is hit and killed. Almost immediately, there is a huge uproar and folks are calling for the cop&apos;s head. The case goes to court but he is found innocent of responsibility in the death. But, he cannot live with himself and is stuck--alternately blaming himself and searching for more answers. See the film and see where this goes.

One of the only folks you probably would recognize if you grew up in the 40s, 50s or 60s is Virginia Christine (the dead boy&apos;s mother). She played a lot of characters on TV (such as in the original &quot;Dragnet&quot;) and was also the spokesperson for Folger&apos;s Coffee for many years. Yup...she&apos;s Mrs. Olsen. Another familiar presence is Rod Serling--who wrote the original story. All in all, surprisingly good and worth your time.
