The Enemy Before Us (1971)
The Enemy Before Us stars Tony Franciosca as Crime magazine reporter Jeff Dillon. Back in his old neighborhood in New York's "Little Italy", Dillon hopes to take a break from his hectic responsibilities and recapture "something real" from his younger days. Unfortunately, he is bombarded by pain and disillusionment from every side: his stepmother (Katina Paxinou) is gravely ill, and her son (Lazaro Perez) is deeply involved with drug dealing. Orson Welles is heard on the soundtrack, reciting appropriate passages from Thomas Wolfe's You Can't Go Home Again. The Enemy Before Us first aired on October 16, 1970, as an episode of the weekly TV series Name of the Game. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
