day shooting. One reason was that they were given  permission to use only one particular Brooklyn line, the Stillwell  Avenue, running from Coney Island into Manhattan (the West End  line). The entire chase was shot with an Arriflex camera, as was  most of the picture. One brief shot, where Hackmans car slams into  the fence, was filmed in Ridgewood under the Myrtle Ave., or M,  line.
