Inchiesta pericolosa (1968)
Il sergente Leland risolve brillantemente un caso di omicidio: l'assassino, un giovane omosessuale, finisce sulla sedia elettrica. Promosso tenente, indaga sul suicidio di un certo McIver, ma qui cominciano i problemi. Prima qualcuno tenta di corromperlo per farlo desistere, poi subisce un attentato. Leland però non si lascia intimorire. Scopre così un grosso giro di corruzione e di speculazione edilizia, ma soprattutto che l'uomo che aveva mandato sulla sedia elettrica era innocente. Sinatra veste i panni del poliziotto incoruttibile che si batte contro il Male e la corruzione in questo teso dramma poliziesco ben sceneggiato, e ottimamente fotografato dal grande Joseph Biroc.
