Location: The Hearing

Arguably the most recognizable interior location in the film is the City Council chambers, where the Crime Commission hearing takes place. The scene is memorable for two moments: In one, Friendly tries to assault Terry but gets tangled up in his own jacket. (It is, of course, more than a little unlikely that the primary target of the investigation would be seated so near the star witness against him, but who am I to quibble?) In the other, a semi-literate Friendly associate indignantly corrects the announcement of his position in the union from "delegate" to "recordin' secretary."
