The First Deadly Sin (1980) Reviews

Member Rating:

The First Deadly Sin was Frank Sinatra's final starring movie vehicle. Based on a novel by Lawrence Sanders, it casts Sinatra as Edward Delaney, a big-city detective on the verge of retirement. Beset with profound personal problems--including a gravely ill wife (Faye Dunaway)--Delaney nonetheless tackles the case of an axe murderer who seemingly strikes at random. Be on the lookout for an unbilled Bruce Willis. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Melodramatic and a bit dated but entertaining. The casting could have been better--whose idea was it for Faye Dunaway to spend the entire movie being sick in a hospital bed and then dying. Sinatra was not a bad actor at all though. Worth watching for the nostalgia.
