Tony Rome is a 1967 American Neo Noir detective film starring Frank Sinatra and directed by Gordon Douglas, adapted from Marvin H. Albert's novel Miami Mayhem. It also stars Jill St. John, Sue Lyon and Gena Rowlands.
The story follows the adventures of Miami private investigator Tony Rome (Sinatra) in his quest to locate a missing diamond pin that belongs to a wealthy heiress.
A sequel, Lady In Cement, was made in 1968, again featuring Sinatra as Tony Rome, and co-starring Raquel Welch and Dan Blocker. Appearing in both films was Richard Conte as Miami police lieutenant Dave Santini.
Both films are examples of a late-1960s neo-noir trend which revived and updated the hard-boiled detective and police dramas of the 1940s.
Sinatra had originally been considered for the lead role as the tough private eye in Harper (1966), but lost out to Paul Newman.
Other films in this genre include The Detective (1968), which also starred Sinatra, as well as Point Blank (1967), Bullitt (1968), Madigan (1968), and Marlowe (1969).
