Entertainment Reviews:
...Peculiarly endearing comedy....[Foxworth] is excellent...
New York Times
...Many fetching settings....Becker and [the cinematographer] both have a good eye for the essential seediness of modern Hollywood, where much of the action takes place...
Variety
Rating: 3.5/4 --
This isn't a seamless piece of work, but it's infectious and charming.

The issue is that the movie is drawn out to the point that the scenes copy each other and the end product feels repetitive. [Full Review in Spanish]

Product Description:
Hard-boiled cop-turned-writer Joseph Wambaugh scripted this film version of his best-seller "The Black Marble," which reflects the author's ability to humanize police officers. Alcoholic homicide investigator Valnikov is a transferred from a case involving murdered children to a burglary detail that seems to have been committed by a creepy dog catcher. Valnikov is also given a new partner, Natalie, who does not welcome his company. However, as these emotionally bruised cops delve deeper into the bizarre world of dog shows, animal fanatics, and pet cemeteries, they soon find themselves drawn to one another.
