Edward Burns: 10 Films That Inspired the Look of "Public Morals"

Given that "Public Morals" is set in the early 1960s, we wanted the look of the show to reflect the cinema of that era that we loved. We looked at the strength of 1960s and '70s films, and our guiding principle was to never be afraid of the dark and to avoid doing any scene the way a regular show would do it. — Edward Burns
