This is the follow-up to a much better movie, "Tony Rome". Its fun to watch the smooth Sinatra and sultry Welch pair up. If you can get past the styles of the 60s, you'll enjoy this one.

I liked both Tony Rome and the Lady in Cement - there were a lot of twists and turns in both, plus they were not gory like today's mystery/suspense movies. Nice to look at the old cars.

Mix: one body, (here, nude, feet in cement block, and female) one hard boiled detective (Frank Sinatra as Tony Rome) one rich woman in distress (Raquel Welch,) add a mysterious client (Dan Blocker) shake well with a selection of mob thugs, and sprinkle with clueless cops and an attempted frame for murder of the detective. Voila, the detective movie , she is done. Just about every detective movie cliche can be found in this one, but its OK, just not great. One surprise: Dan Blocker stepping out of his "Hoss" Bonanza role was jovially menacing and surprisingly good. Will fill a rainy afternoon, but don't expect rave reviews.
