Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer is a television film starring George Segal, Shelley Hack and Tracy Pollan. It first aired on October 15, 1983, on the CBS television network. Produced by Sonny Grosso and Larry Jacobson,[1] the film was directed by Bill Persky.
Plot[edit]
The film follows the investigation into the 1973 rape and murder of a young Manhattan school teacher. The film is a made-for-television sequel to the 1977 theatrical film Looking for Mr. Goodbar, which itself was based on Judith Rossner's acclaimed 1975 best-selling novel of the same name. However, Trackdown opens with a disclaimer, disassociating itself from Rossner's novel.[2]
