TONY ROME 1967-- Snappy dialogue abounds in this 60s noir? Or is it too sunny to be a noirish film.
The dialogue is clever. I think this was testing the ratings system with some of the dialogue. Such as the woman who goes to him about her cat. I don't think that was a conversation about the four legged variety. Lloyd Bochner is I assume playing a gay drug dealer (his home furnishings display male nude sculpture) and if I read it right the stripper and her roommate were lesbians?
Interesting trivia: Stella Stevens turned down the role that was subsequently accepted by Jill St. John. Stella Stevens had a one time date with Sinatra a few years prior. He was looking for a relationship with a woman not interested in a career of her own and spent the entire date trying to talk Stella into giving up hers. It was their first and last date and she didn't want to work with him.
