During a shootout between the police and escaped murder suspect Billings (Dennis Madalone), Quincy (Jack Klugman) is caught in the crossfire and seriously wounded. As Quincy hovers between life and death in a hospital bed, his boss Dr. Astin (John S. Ragin) and police lieutenant Frank Monahan (Gary Walberg) struggle to solve the case that the medical examiner had been working on--which may ultimately prove that Billings has neither killed nor wounded anyone. Highlighting this unusal episode are several cleverly assembled "Rashomon"-style flashbacks. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Uptight is an updated remake of John Ford's The Informer (35). The Irish Republican rebels of the original are replaced by black activists, Dublin becomes the Cleveland ghetto, and "the troubles" of 1921 are transformed into the days just following the assassination of Martin Luther King. Julian Mayfield plays an itinerant street sweeper who betrays his militant friends to the fuzz, resulting in an underground all-points bulletin to exact vengeance on the squealer. Ruby Dee portrays a prostitute who befriends the snitch as he eludes his revolutionary ex-buddies. Jules Dassin's unrelenting directorial pace is complemented by the driving jazz score of Booker T. Jones. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- Starring:
- Raymond St. Jacques, Ruby Dee, (more)
