Tony Rome is a 1967 film directed by Gordon Douglas. The film follows Miami private investigator Tony Rome (Sinatra) as he works for members of the Kosterman family in order to find a pin for the Kosterman daughter. Tony is an ex-cop who is living on a houseboat off Miami, where he accepts fees for private-eye work. His former partner, Ralph Turpin (Robert J. Wilke), asks Tony for his help in locating Diana Pines (Sue Lyon), who is the daughter of a rich construction magnate- Rudolph Kosterman (Simon Oakland). Tony finds her unconscious and drunk in a sleazy motel room and returns her to her home. Rudolph decides to hire Tony in order to find out why his daughter is behaving so irrationally.
