A Scream In The Streets (1973)

Resembling nothing so much as a porn version of television's Adam-12, theatre director Carl Monson's sleazy A Scream In The Streets puts two Los Angeles cops (Joshua Bryant from Frank Q. Dobbs' Enter the Devil and the possibly pseudonymous Frank Bannon) on the trail of a cross-dressing rapist/murderer (Con Covert from Repo Man). But most of the running time highlights the heavy-handed duo's "shoot first, ask questions later" philosophy in dealing with numerous degenerate Angelenos, the latter including a massage parlor customer who brutally beats his fluffer. With Linda York (Female Chauvinists), Norma's Mady Maguire, and two Johns: John Keith from The Pig Keeper's Daughter and John Below the Belt Tull. Also with porn stars Colleen Brennan (Russ Meyer's Supervixens), Sandy Sassy Sue Carey, and Sandy Dempsey from Country Hooker. The salacious scenario was cooked up by cowboy movie and television scriptwriter Eric Norden, who also appears. Apparently director Monson needed help from a team that included foulard-wearing producer/distributor Harry H. Novak (Please Don't Eat My Mother) of Boxoffice International renown.
