La fama es el nombre del juego

Tony Franciosa plays here in HARPER - Paul Newman - mode in this solid TV detective yarn. Typical of the sixties, with the jazzy sweet atmosphere. Don't get a headache to fully understand the story, as many private eyes tales. Focus instead on performances and - I know I repeat - the atmosphere. Looks like a CHICAGO DEADLINE remake, with so many supporting but all known actors with the likes of Jay C Flippen, George MacReady, Nicolas Colosanto, Robert Duvall...I am surprised that no one has commented it yet. Maybe it is hard to find. actually Tony Franciosa is a reporter here, instead a gumshoe, but what's the difference?

One good Stuart Rosenberg early piece of work. Good performances and good cast too.

I watched this on YouTube today. Hopefully it will stay posted as it is well worth watching. It's a cleverly and sharply written mystery (I think the dialogue is as enjoyable as The Thin Man) that as another poster mentioned is somewhat confusing to follow, but still fun to watch. Tony Francisco is brilliant and both St. John and Saint James are a delight. I can see why it kicked off an equally enjoyable series.
