DETECTIVE STORY simply represents a day in the police station, which includes a variety of relationships. Extremely emotional and dynamic day packaged in an interesting melodrama. Hard-line detective despised criminals, but because of personal reasons and inner demons attaches maniacal dedication. Other characters we gradually discover their own privacy and secrets in various ways, introducing us into a vortex of emotions, fears and inner demons. So in one day won and lost cases, born of love, winning looted divorcees, abandoned partners and lose lives.
Each character (really it is a lot) passes through a particular human crisis. More or less. It is interesting to see how people behave in such situations. The detective who was bitter, ruthless criminals and without any mercy and compromises affect human destiny is found before the abyss of life. The main temptation in life is his own wife.
The script and characterization could be a lot better. I think these institutions are the most important for this movie. This is how you lose credibility. The main character is somewhat fanatic. Around him all simply "yelling and screaming". Violence is a constant and emotions constantly raging. At the end of the film the murder has brought "peace". Serious topics are not fully explained. So much hatred, violence and emotion is difficult to properly describe.
All are somehow to blame, except for the wife of the main character who is truly innocent. Kirk Douglas as Detective Jim McLeod is strong and aggressive detective who pulls the problem of childhood, past and can not be worn with the present. Negative examples of life shaped his personality.
I am not thrilled. The story has touched some sensitive topics, human internal disturbances and ended the killing on the basis of which can not be performed any valid conclusion.
