Adapted for the screen by novelist Joseph Wambaugh himself, The Black Marble stars
Robert Foxworth as a burned-out, hard-drinking cop who is teamed with idealistic lady officer
Paula Prentiss. These two polar opposites wade their way through a seamy urban world of corruption and hopelessness. The film is peppered with supporting players, of which include
Harry Dean Stanton,
James Woods,
John Hancock and
Barbara Babcock. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
