possibly one of the best police dramas. dated attitudes are the only detractor

supposedly this is frank sinatras highest grossing film and was actually the prequal to diehard. not sure if that last bit is for sure but this is worth a watch if you like crime dramas.

It may have been a little better if it focused on his professional life a little more than his personal life. It is very well made, good production. The acting is fine, good story. I am sure it was quite bold in its day.

Not bad. Not overwhelmingly good, either.

Paul N 12 Jan 2009

Pretty good, often gritty and definitely groundbreaking late-60s crime story, particularly in regard to its subject matter (homosexuals and police discrimination against, police corruption, sexual frankness, psychotherapy, etc). This feels all over like a project which was initiated or, at the very least, shepherded by the often-socially-conscious Sinatra, who gives a great performance. Sure, there's some cornball sixties flourishes here and there, but, considering the time, a fairly interesting piece and a time capsule of sort.
