The Choirboys Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Robert Aldrich
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Loosely based on former policeman Joseph_Wambaugh's humorous novel, The Choirboys determinedly explores the stunted interior lives of a large crew of callous, bigoted L.A. policemen. These men get together to lend one another emotional support. However, the means they choose for this do not enhance their sensitivity or their judgement. When one of them has a really bad day, he asks his buddies to come to "choir practice," and they get together for alcoholic benders of fairly epic proportions. When one of them accidentally shoots a homosexual teen cruising a city park, everyone (including higher-ups) gets called on to help with the cover-up. The Choirboys, which was a critical and box-office failure, had an impressive cast list, including such well-known performers as Blair_Brown, James_Woods, Randy_Quaid, Lou_Gossett_Jr., Perry_King and Charles_Durning.
