Abstract
This chapter presents an interview with Michael Mann, in which he talks about the television show Miami Vice. It was Mann's fetish for detail that made him one of the hottest triple threats in Hollywood today and Miami Vice a hit. Millions tuned in to his bubbling Pop Cop bouillabaisse of sex, drugs, glitz, ritz, machine guns and rock ‘n’ roll. As the hippest cop show on TV, at that time, Miami Vice spun its contemporary morality plays via staccato storytelling. Some critics called it just another New Look formula, but others said it took TV off the assembly line, drawing such motion picture heavies as directors William Friedkin and John Milius to flirt with pilots for the once-scorned tube. Miami Vice stars Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, respectively.
