Joe Dancer: The Big Black Pill

19815.8 / 10100 min
Mystery, Crime, Drama, TV Movie

Overview

The first of three private-eye movies created by Robert Blake about rugged Joe Dancer as the forerunner to a prospective but unrealized series after the retirement of his "Baretta" character. In the initial outing, Blake, as Dancer, follows a trail of bodies through a maze of corruption involving a politically ambitious Beverly Hills family.
