ynopsis
Detective Rita Rizzoli (Goldberg) is a crusading narcotics police officer in Los Angeles assigned to track down some killer
cocaine . She poses as a prostitute and is soon hot after two small-time hoods who murder their way in hopes of becoming kingpins. Right from the beginning, Mike Marshak (Elliott), a security agent working for Rizzoli's prime suspect, takes a special interest in Rizzoli, at first for his boss, then later in the detective, as a romance develops. Their love scene was controversially abbreviated in the North American release, due to the racial taboo at the time.Cast
