Warning Shot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warning Shot is a 1967 movie about a police sergeant who kills a man in self-defense while on a stakeout. Then, he must clear his name when the gun that was pulled on him disappears. It is based on the novel 711 - Officer Needs Help by Whit Masterson.
It stars David Janssen, Ed Begley and Keenan Wynn. Baseball stars Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale signed to appear in the movie during their 1966 holdout, but never made it onto the screen when they both agreed to contracts with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The film was directed by Buzz Kulik with a jazz score by Jerry Goldsmith.
