The Panic in Needle Park (1971)

Edit this Page
Jerry Schatzberg Director previously directed Puzzle of a Downfall Child

Al Pacino plays Bobby, a young heroin addict who introduces his drug-free girlfriend (Kitty Winn) to New York's "Needle Park." But in this sordid world peopled with addicts who lie, cheat and steal their way to their next fix, will Bobby feel any guilt for corrupting a pure soul? With its gritty documentary style, Jerry Schatzberg's drama proved a star-making turn for a young Pacino, who went on to earn an Oscar nomination for The Godfather.
