Robert Butler's Night of the Juggler (1980) is a New York City thriller of the specific kind that the city's particular early-1980s condition made possible: shot guerrilla-style in actual locations, populated by the actual texture of a city in fiscal crisis and social fragmentation, with a pace and a rawness that studio approximations could not manufacture. James Brolin plays an ex-cop whose daughter is kidnapped by a man (Cliff Gorman) who mistook her for someone else — the wrong child, an error that propels both men through the city's boroughs in a pursuit that takes in South Bronx tenements, Times Square in its pre-gentrification incarnation, and the Brooklyn waterfront. Gorman's kidnapper is genuinely frightening: a man whose grievances have curdled into a violence that the film does not make sympathetic. The film was made quickly, marketed cheaply and largely forgotten, and the New York City it documents — dangerous, ungovernable, visually extraordinary — no longer exists in any form.
