About Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest
Police looking for drug dealers mistakenly raid the house of a typical suburban family. However, rather than admit their mistake and jeopardize their careers, several of the police officers decide to plant heroin in the family's house, and change the records of the raid to make it look like the family was the target of their investigation all along. Based on a true story.
Directed by Lela Swift, Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest leans on a strong ensemble — Jim Hutton, Peter Mark Richman, John Karlen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1974.
