Review of The Detective (1968) by 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.
