While Frank Sinatra's The Detective was a serious movie with an attempt at social values.
In Lady in Cement Sinatra goes back to glib wisecracks. It might me more adult for its time with some nudity but it also has rat pack type humour.
While diving off the Miami coast looking for sunken Spanish galleons. Private investigator Tony Rome (Frank Sinatra) finds a dead naked blonde woman with her feet encased in concrete and sharks circling round.
Rome reports it to the police and then is visited by Waldo Gronski (Dan Blocker.) He is a big man who wants Rome to find Sandra Lomax who is missing. Lomax was an exotic dancer, and another dancer who worked at the club is soon killed.
His search leads Rome to sexy Kit Forrest (Raquel Welch) who is looked after by a reformed gangster Al Mungar. Soon Rome is wanted for the murder of a nightclub owner.
Based on a novel, it is incoherent and messy. It has overbearing music, Sinatra does not seem to be taking it seriously and he is just full of quips.
Blocker is the best thing in it and in one scene he is watching Bonanza!
