Frank Sinatra plays a police detective. His wife is in the hospital getting worse. He relieves the stress of his dying wife by focusing on his case, an apparent serial killer.
The movie seemed sketchy. We never see how Frank Sinatra gets around. Does he drive around himself? There was a shot of a traffic jam at one point but we never see him trying to deal with it or find a place to park. It goes from interior scene to interior scene. He decides on his suspect without much evidence and then breaks into his apartment to look for evidence.
They went with gritty realism with scenes of the coroner performing an autopsy, close-ups of surgery being performed on his wife.
A good performance by Frank Sinatra. Bruce Willis is in there somewhere---I didn't notice him but he's in an uncredited role. JamesWhitmore as the coroner.
Roman Polanski was going to direct until he was dropped due to his raping a child.
Fay Dunaway was nominated for a Razzie for worst actress playing Sinatra's wife but I thought she was fine.
