About this product

Product Information

A hard-boiled mystery starring Frank Sinatra as the tough-as-nails Detective Joe Leland, 'The Detective' was based on a novel by Roderick Thorp. Called in to investigate the murder of Teddy Leikman, the homosexual son of a well-connected department store mogul, Leland executes an open-and-shut investigation. He quickly elicits a confession from Teddy's crazy roommate, and the defendant is convicted and executed while Leland scores a promotion. But when the widow of an accountant seeks out the Detective to look into the circumstances of her husband's death, Leland uncovers some startling evidence implicating a corrupt New York City political machine; an attempt on Leland's life further convinces him that the authorities have a stake in keeping this case closed. Lee Remick ('The Omen') plays Leland's estranged wife, Karen.

  • Avoid - dreadful script and hammy throughout.

    Dreadful script and Lee Remick's character is really hammy. Just poorly acted throughout. Painful to watch and totally unrealistic relationship dialogue. It's awful.
