    • Trivia
      Frank Sinatra said that he knew a girl that used to date bullfighters, a reference to his ex-wife Ava Gardner's affair with a matador when filming The Barefoot Contessa (1954) in Spain.
    • Goofs
      A local TV station would never break into the broadcast of a national program (especially one like Daniel Boone (1964), aimed at children and families) to announce the murder of the owner of a two-bit go-go club.

    A Frank Sinatra Ultra Cool Miami Beach Classic
    Frank Sinatra made two detective films in which he played the hip, Miami Beach private-eye Tony Rome.

    Lady in Cement was filmed in the mid 60s when Miami Beach still had that hip-cool reputation. The movie takes place in the now gone Jilly's Nightclub which belong to Frank's pal, Jilly Rizzo. Other neat spots are the old mansion (now gone) of Panama dictator General Trijullio, the Fontenbleau Hotel and houseboat row(also a memory).

    Dan Blocker steals the show as a 2nd rate hood named Bronski. Richard Conte gives his typical good performance, and Old Blue eyes shines in this type of hipster role. The biggest scene stealer is the ultra hot Raquel Welch. Raquel was in her prime and her swimming pool scene is steaming. The funny thing is that this bombshell could act. Look for South Florida "cult" legend Chris Robinson in a minor part as a gay funeral home director.....he's fantastic in his 3 minute part.
