Frank Sinatra Triple Pack
Out Now
Quotes
"This tough and nasty Miami-set thriller is a classy act, with searing
dialogue, a fine Billy May score and top-notch support from the likes
of Richard Conte and Gena Rowlands" - Radio Times on Tony Rome
"Witty and thoroughly enjoyable attempt to revive the cynical,
corpse-laden Chandler thrillers of the 40's" - Time Out on Tony Rome
"A hard-hitting, well-paced drama that takes swipes at slipshod
policing and corruption in City Hall and features one of Sinatra's best
performances" - Radio Times on The Detective
Synopsis
90 years after his birth, Frank Sinatra remains as cool and relevant as ever, with the Sinatra at the Palladium stage show gathering rave reviews and Shawn Levy's Rat Pack Confidential book engaging a whole new audience. As well as setting new standards for music, Sinatra acted in over 60 films, including these three hard-hitting 60's crime dramas. All three films boast great supporting casts, including glamorous co-stars Jill St. John, Raquel Welch and Lee Remick.
Tony Rome
Frank Sinatra plays Tony Rome, a tough ex-cop turned private eye, taking payments for low-stakes investigative work. When the daughter of a rich construction magnate goes missing, Rome’s ex-partner enlists Tony’s help in tracking the girl down. Tony locates her (she’s drunk in a sleazy motel room), however this is only the start of the action-packed story.
Lady In Cement
Tony Rome is back again. Despite being smooth as silk, Sinatra’s Rome can’t help but end up in a heap of trouble even when scuba diving off the coast of Miami. While diving, Rome comes across the body of a woman encased in cement - can he untangle the murder mystery, clear the name of the stunning Kit Forrest (Raquel Welch) and stay alive in the process?
The Detective
Frank Sinatra is Detective Joe Leland, who is called in to investigate when the homosexual son of a politically connected department-store entrepreneur is murdered in this gripping exploration of corruption and intolerance. When the the finger of suspicion points to the dead man's gay roommate, Leland hauls him in and drags a confession out of him - it's only after his execution that he begins to wonder if he has been responsible for the execution of the wrong man.
