Gladiator

Gladiator is actually made by a noted director, Abel Ferrara, who later did BAD LIEUTENANT, KING OF NEW YORK, BODY SNATCHERS and other stuff. I doubt Culp knew who he was at the time, and indeed, Culp just kinda walks through the grumpy detective part. I sat through the whole thing, but as a tv film it was a too neutered arena for Ferrara, who usually works in hard-R territory. Definitely Culp fans can skip around, but this is more BREAKING POINT territory than HANNIE CAULDER territory...
