Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Panic in Needle Park is a 1971 drama film directed by Jerry Schatzberg.Helen (Kitty Winn) is a young woman from Fort Wayne, Indiana now living in New York City as an aspiring artist. She has already made some bad choices, as the film opens with her returning from an illegal back-alley abortion paid for (cheaply) by her sleazy boyfriend Marco (Raúl Juliá in one of his first movie roles).While recuperating from her abortion—she eventually has to go to the hospital—she meets Bobby, a heroin dealer (Al Pacino). Bobby is a lot nicer to her than Marco is, and soon they fall in love. Unfortunately Bobby is a heroin addict as well as a dealer, and he drags her down into a nightmare of heroin addiction and despair.Al Pacino's first starring role; his performance here was what got him the part in The Godfather. Paul Sorvino appears in one scene as a john who called the cops after Helen stole $75 from him. Author Joan Didion co-wrote the screenplay, adapted from the 1966 novel of the same name by James Mills.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Big Rotten Apple: The whole movie was shot on location in New York City—filthy alleyways, dingy gray apartments, parks overrun with heroin addicts. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Panic in Needle Park / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: A low-key version. There's nothing dramatic, nobody overdoses, Bobby doesn't murder Helen. In fact, they get back together at the end, and that is the downer ending, as there's no indication that they will escape the nightmare of drug addiction. | |

Back-Alley Doctor: We don't see whoever gave Helen an abortion but Marco says they owed him a favor. They did a bad job of it, as Helen won't stop bleeding and eventually has to go to the hospital. | |
