Buy Tony Rome DVD
February 8th, 2010 by irwin1084881The first in two films featuring Sinatra as the title detective, “Tony Rome” is about as hardboiled as the 60’s would allow with witty dialog and strong performances from a stale cast. Sinatra’s delightfully cynical performance as Rome and a couple of bent performances by Gena Rowlands and Simon Oakland preserve this film tantalizing. Rome is called in by his ex-partner to return the daughter of a wealthy businessman (Simon Oakland) found passed out in a seedy hotel room. When Rome’s ex-partner is found tiresome and the girl’s diamond pin is found missing, Rome finds himself hip deep in the middle of a fresh unwelcome mystery to solve. Rome meets and romances the wealthy and cynical Anne Archer (Jill St. John) and he must figure out if she figures in the mystery as well.

I detected no digital flaws. A very interesting, nice transfer “Tony Rome” looks really profitable on DVD with some minor analog flaws that slice up from time to time in the effect of film splotches found, no doubt, on the new negative. The mono sound comes across with nice presence and the dialog is crisp and definite throughout.
We win trailers for a variety of Fox films from the 1960’s. My current is for one dread of the 60’s “Fathom” and a captivating formula western “Bandolero!” both featuring Raquel Welch. The latter film is memorable for Jimmy Stewart and Dean Martin who appear as brothers(!) in the film. There’s also Raquel Welch in the “Fabulous Voyage” and other bright trailers.

A solid, fun mystery with a memorable cynical performance by Sinatra, “Tony Rome” collected packs a punch. It’s a gigantic 60’s detective flick and overcomes its dated trappings with a shimmering, witty script.
Frank Sinatra is Tony Rome, an ex-cop turned private observe, who makes his home aboard a boat, in sunny Miami. Cynical, semi-tough, and a wise cracking gambler, a call from his ex-partner, draws him into a case revolving around the vexed family affairs of influential businessman Rudy Kosterman (Simon Oakland) . His daughter Diana, (Sue Lyon) has a habit of passing out in outlandish places. Rome’s search for Diana’s missing diamond pin, leads to a twisting anecdote of intrigue, deception and death.

We obtain a seek at the dusky side of Miami, as we follow Rome on the case. Sinatra pulls it off sparkling well, without being too cute. The place is not predictable, and requires that you pay attention. Violent at times, but not gratuitously so.
Gena Rowlands appears as Klosterman’s wife. Jill St. John looks reliable, but her performance never rings upright. Ex-boxer Rocky Graziano makes a cameo, and Deanna Lund, from TV’s Land of the Giants, also briefly appears. Billy May’s musical gain sounds like it was lifted from the 60’s TV series, Batman. And Frank’s daughter Nancy, sings Lee Hazelwood’s corny title song to the movie.
A obliging fraction from the period, that doesn’t stray too far from reality or sink into excess. Worth seeing for the anecdote. Sinatra would reprise his role as Tony Rome for a sequel, “Lady In Cement”.
