- Lady in Cement was supposed to continue the Tony Rome franchise, but wound up being a one-and-done sequel. It's not as good as the film that preceded it, but it's not a horrendous step down either. Mostly, it just suffers from the typical symptoms of sequel-itis: it attempts to remake the first film, only "bigger and better."

Lady in Cement. It's clear enough that Frank Sinatra has honorable intentions. He wants to make good cop and private-eye movies, the kind Bogart specialized in, with terse dialog and good action sequences and the hero played as a weary cynic with an anti-establishment bias.

Opening to mixed reviews, Lady in Cement is generally considered to be a middling sequel to Tony Rome. Critic Roger Ebert gave faint praise in a generally scathing review by commenting: "In the movie's few good scenes, Sinatra once again painfully reminds us what a controlled, effective actor he is."

Reading my review of it, it seems Lady in Cement has most of the same things going for and against it. It also has a flimsy plot that never convincingly coalesces at any point and you can replace the terrible leading lady performance of Jill St. John with the terrible leading lady performance of Raquel Welch.
