Chicago Story

About This Movie

Chicago Story is a curious piece of television history, really. It dives into the grim reality of urban crime through the eyes of different professionals—a pair of cops, doctors, and lawyers—each grappling with the aftermath of a tragic incident involving a child. The pacing has that TV movie vibe, a bit slow but deliberate in building tension. The performances, while not overly flashy, feel grounded, bringing a certain believability to the heavy themes of morality and duty. It’s interesting to see how each viewpoint adds layers to the narrative, though it never really fully develops into the series it was meant to launch. The practical effects are minimal but serve the story without overshadowing the drama. A fascinating snapshot of early '80s TV.

Explores multiple perspectives on urban crime. · Has a strong dramatic tone with a realistic approach. · Part of a short-lived series that never fully materialized.
