Description:
In this solid suspense drama, Frank Sinatra stars as detective Tony Rome who, while working on a case, discovers everybody he talks to winds up dead.
Amazon.com:
When it was released in 1968, Lady in Cement was the perfect movie for 'The Man Who Reads Playboy.' It was tailor-made for middle-aged martini-and-poker men who enjoyed Frank Sinatra in Tony Rome a year earlier, and this slapdash sequel finds Ol' Blue Eyes in sun-soaked Miami, where his treasure-hunting discovery of a naked blonde (the ill-fated lady in cement, found dead underwater) gets him tangled up with a massive thug (Dan Blocker), a retired Mafioso (Martin Gabel) with an over-ambitious son, an ultra-sexy heiress (Raquel Welch, in her sexpot prime at age 27), and a variety of Floridian lowlifes who lent the film its R-rated appeal for the cocktail crowd. With its disposable mystery, rampant homophobia, go-go club lechery, peekaboo nudity, bursts of red-blooded violence, and swinging score by Hugo Montenegro, this not-so-lucky Lady bombed at the box office and tested Sinatra's legendary temper, but it's still raucously entertaining (it partially inspired the Austin Powers comedies), and there are plenty of in-jokes to be seen (and especially heard) for anyone steeped in '60s pop culture. Nestled between The Graduate and Easy Rider, Lady in Cement was a cinematic fossil even before the cameras rolled, but Frank's fans are sure to love it anyway. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - One word, Sinatra
A very good movie. People of all generations would like it. It has an adult theme to it. There was only one other movie he made as this character. Such a shame it would have made a great detective series. Frank Sinatra was a great actor,and this movie shows his skill. And a good cameo role by the very gorgeous Racquel Welch is a double bonus.

Love the waffle iron. It's great. My husband and I decided that they would make gifts for our kids when the girls showed so much intrest in the iron we now have.
Rating:  - lady in cement
this was a bomb at the box office for a good reason. The silly music drowns out silly scenes. Frank looks good but the story is awful he tries his best but there is no getting around a bad movie...
Rating: - Raquwl Was Never Better
Lady in Cement hit the theaters in New York City 11/20/68 starring Frank Sinatra as Private Investigator Tony Rome, Raquel Welch as Kit Forrest and Richard Conte as Lt. Dave Santini. It's a warm sunny day in Miami and Tony and a Buddy of his are on Tony's boat out in the middle of nowhere looking for treasure. Tony looses at poker so he's the one that has to put on the scuba diving gear and has to go in the water to look for the treasure. While Tony in the water he comes across a ********* ****** in cement shoes. After they call, the Coast Guard Tony has to go to the station to meet with Lt. Dave Santini. Tony hired by Waldo to try to fine Sandra Lomax, which leads him to the beautiful Kip Forrest. When Tony comes calling on Kip, Kip mistakes him for someone else and calls Al Munger to take care of Tony. Now Tony fines himself in a real mess which has Tony ******* from the ***. As far as the movie goes, this was far better then the last picture that had Raquel Welch in it. I thought that Frank Sinatra was excellent playing the role of the Private Investigator. He was pushy when he had to be and yet smart enough to get at of jams. What can you about Raquel Welch that hasn't been said already. So was fantastic playing the role of Kip Forrest. When she walks up the ladder out of the swimming pool in that ***** ****** it just made you want to melt. You can never get enough of Raquel and she played a lot bigger role in this film then in the last one, she was in. I give this movie 10 weasel stars for two ... Read More
Rating: - Sinatra Does It Again
One of the things that I admired about Frank Sinatra was his versatility and professionalism. Whenever he did something, be it a song or a movie, he threw himself into it. Lady in Cement, the second (and unfortunately the last) of his Tony Rome movies, shows that same dedication to his craft. While the movie's plot is sometimes hard to follow, the performances make it worthwhile. Sinatra plays the hardboiled, tough guy detective to perfection, but also has a sly smile on his face letting the audience know he's having a good time. Dan Blocker, who was just reaching beyond his Bonanza role of Hoss, gave us glimpse of the potential that was cut short by his untimely death. This was his last movie. And rounding things out is the beautiful Raquel Welch, whose stunning looks overshadowed the fact that she quite often tried to rise above the eye-candy parts she was given. While Lady in Cement is not quite up to its predecessor, Tony Rome, it's still good fun, and gives us a glimpse back at the end of the sixties. It was an era when, as Frank would've said, men were men and broads were broads.
