Storyline:Terry shouts to fellow pigeon-lover Joey in his apartment, in the opening lines of the film.He unwittingly becomes a pawn in setting a trap to murder his fellow longshoreman dockworker:Joey, Joe Doyle!.In the dark, deserted, abandoned, wind-blown Joad cabin [clearly a studio set], Tom cries out: "Ma!? Pa!? Ma!? Nobody here.The victim had been following the crime boss and his henchman before he was discovered and murdered.Two Disguised Brooklyn Cops In the Midst of a Drug Bust:In Brooklyn, New York during the Christmas holiday season, two NYPD cops are disguised outside the seedy Oasis Bar & Grill in the course of their work - a drug stakeout:Detective Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle (Gene Hackman) - a passionate, tough, pushy, unorthodox, bigoted and racist NYPD cop, disguised as a Santa ClausDetective Buddy "Cloudy" Salvatore Russo (Roy Scheider) posing as a hot dog vendor in a black and white checkered coatAtwo-bit black dope-drug Pusher named Willy (Alan Weeks) is confronted and accosted, who reacts by slashing Russo's arm with one swipe of his concealed knife.Then, when Lige arrived home, she was ultimately able to reconcile with him - she confessed the killing to him and he explained how the sand (via the wind) had justly covered up the corpse.To underline the assaultive nature of the film's content, much of its camera workis deliberately in-out, with few pans or much lateral/horizontal movement.
