Description
This documentary focuses on the relationship between Guy Fisher and Leroy Nicky Barnes, the two most notorious drug figures in the NY drug trade during the 1970's. Fisher the former owner of the world famous Apollo Theater, and Barnes, named Mr. Untouchable by the NY Times, were at once friends, competitors, and allies in the struggle to control the lions share of America's heroin trade. After years of circumventing the law, Nicky Barnes was eventually arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment without the eligibility of parole. Interestingly, the prosecutor of the case was the soon to be mayor of NYC, Rudolph Giuliani.

3 out of 5 stars its alright.......2005-08-20

The movie is good it is just too short (like 30 minutes). I guess it is hard to find people to talk about what was going on back in the seventies. The interviews that they had were good and probably should have shown more from the 60 minutes report that was done on Guy Fisher and Leroy Barnes. I bought this for 10 dollars and other sites have it for 15-16 dollars plus shipping that is crazy.
