Lady in Cement
A beautiful body under water. A private eye in over his head.
Directed by Gordon Douglas
Produced by Arcola Pictures, 20th Century Fox
A classic neo-noir detective thriller set in Miami, blending murder mystery, romantic entanglement, and street-level crime with the cynical wit and visual style of 1960s pulp.
While diving for sunken treasure, street-smart gumshoe Tony Rome finds the body of a gorgeous blonde, her feet stuck in a block of cement. Soon after, tough guy Waldo Gronski hires him to find a missing woman named Sandra Lomax, and Rome wonders if there's a connection. He sets about trying to locate the woman, and in no time finds himself mixed up with a beautiful party girl and a slippery racketeer.
