True Confessions**    
(US 1981)
United Artists. 108m. 

A Los Angeles vice squad detective uncovers a series of brutal murders that implicate his Catholic priest brother.
Sensitively handled in its ecclesiastical element, and beautifully photographed in the manner of The Godfather (including two of its main actors), though as a murder plot containing the usual bouts of sex, violence and profanity that are supposedly good box office (based on the Black Dahlia murder case in the 1940s). A belated Easter tribute to the late Robert Duvall.
