Synopsis

City in Fear is a movie released shortly after the death of David Janssen, who gives a tour de force performance as newspaper columnist Vince Perrino.

Featuring many character actors of the day, this drama loosely based on the Son of Sam frenzy features three points of view: the reporter, the killer (played by a young Mickey Rourke), and the police.

The movie works best from the reporter's point of view as Perrino tries to cash in on his exclusive contacts between himself and the killer with a book deal.

The always reliable Robert Vaughn contributes as Janssen's publisher boss/nemesis who wants a story for his paper at any cost to boost circulation.

Presently this movie is only on VHS, but it is worth seeking out.
