Serpico is a 1973 American crime film directed by Sidney Lumet. It is based on the true story of New York City policeman Frank Serpico, who went undercover to expose the corruption of his fellow officers, after being pushed to the brink at first by their distrust and later by the threats and intimidation they leveled against him.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen some large sea changes on Mad Men, so many changes that we seemed due for a break. Last night’s episode, “The Crash” was a break in more ways than one and an unanticipated jaunt through the back alleys of show creator Matthew Weiner’s mind. The Stalker We’ve never [...]
