Lady in Cement

Actors:  Frank Sinatra, Raquel Welch, Dan Blocker, Richard Conte
Rating:  6 out of 10, Sinatra returns as the least tough private eye Tony Rome who is still too cool for school.  There is an incredibly slow car chase though Miami Beach, I guess they felt they had to obey traffic laws.  The eye candy this time out is Raquel Welch, at the height of her formidable looks.  She changes hair style with every scene and adequately flaunts her not inadequate charms throughout.  This was before she learned to act though.  Frank doesn’t seem as focused on this sequel and all the best scenes belong to Dan Blocker, Hoss from Bonanza.  He plays a man mountain who beats everybody in sight to a bloody pulp.  It’s sad we lost him at a young age – he was very watchable.  The rest of the movie, except for Ms Welch in a bikini, was not.
MVP:  Blocker as Gronsky, a very dangerous man
