About The Stoolie
Roger Pitman is a petty thief who makes a deal with the police to use bait money to trap other criminals. But when he gets the cash, Roger can't resist the temptation and steals part of it. He runs off to Miami Beach, but now lives in fear of the crooks that he set up as well as the police.
Directed by John G. Avildsen, The Stoolie leans on a strong ensemble — Jackie Mason, Josip Elic, Reid Cruickshanks — 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 comedy titles of 1972.
