Naked City is a police drama television series that also doubles as something of a documentary. The show also takes it name from the 1948 movie entitled The Naked City. Naked City takes place and is filmed in New York City, and has the main protagonists of the series being detectives of the 65th Precinct of the New York Police Department. They include Detective Frank Arcaro, played by Harry Bellaver, Detective Adam Flint, played by Paul Burke and Lieutenant Michael Parker, played by Horace McMahon. The latter two would later become main characters in the later seasons of the show. Though these three were the major players of the drama, most of the episodes played around the criminals and victims, who happened to be guest stars of the shows. In fact it was the extremely wide variety of guest stars who made the show more widely known, Christopher Walken and Jon Voight being two prime examples of this. Naked City was created and mostly written by Stirling Silliphant, with Lawrence Dobkin serving as the show's narrator.
