Once again, Frank Sinatra takes a chance with subject matter that pushes the envelope. He's tough though it seems he kind of walks through it a bit as the detective trying to solve the case of a murdered homosexual. At the time voice-over narrative was probably considered too "old fashioned" to use, but I really think it would have helped this film.
Still, I always enjoy seeing Frank the tough guy and he gets lots of support from a gregarious Jack Klugman and the unspeakably beautiful Lee Remick. Jaqueline Bisset is also in the mix as a woman who suspects her husband (William Windom) did not kill himself, but was murdered.
"Rockford Files" fans might appreciate one scene where Frank goes to talk to the press about the case of a accidental shooting by one officer (Tom Atkins). Among the reporters is Joe Santos, who played Sgt. Becker on "Rockford Files". Beckers boss was...Tom Atkins as Lt. Diehl.
