This is one of Frank Sinatra's better films, though it is about average plot wise for an outing like this. A PI single handedly breaks a case while smoking, drinking and making wise cracks. Frank himself is always a joy. However, what makes this a five star film is Deanna Lund. It was one of her biggest roles as a beautiful young starlet and was actually to be her last hurrah before returning to Florida as a businesswoman. However, Irwin Allen saw the rushes and knew that Deanna was the perfect Valerie for Land of the Giants and the rest is history. Her one scene steals the film and Frank was definitely impressed, but that's another story.;

This is a great retro film. A detective story set in Miami in 1967 with classic cars and boats and beautiful women.
The plot and characters are quite interesting and it benefits from a clever dialogue and good retro pictures of Miami Beach. Enjoy it.;
