I think the film JOE deserves some mention as well. Legend has it that star Peter Boyle was so taken aback by the audiences gratified reaction to the on screen violence that he decided never to play such a part again- forcing him to turn down the part of Popeye Doyle in THE FRENCH CONNECTION. But did not Boyle follow JOE up with the equally violent and semi-factual CRAZY JOE?

The early 70's is probably one of the most violent periods in cinema, possibly because directors and writers felt for the first time totally free, and that they could truly express themselves.
