Trivia
Debut film of actor Bruce Willis as an extra. He is the man with a hat nearly covering his face entering the restaurant with the yellow-framed windows as Delaney (Sinatra) leaves while trailing Blank. Willis worked as a stand-in for "David Dukes" in the picture.

Errores
As suspect Blank (Dukes) is fleeing from Detective Delaney (Sinatra), he goes around a corner carrying an ice ax in his right hand but he was not holding it when approaching the corner nor right after heading toward the camera.

Citas
Edward Delaney: What else can you tell me about the wound?
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Well, penetration was straight down into the skull. Now, what does that tell *you*?
Edward Delaney: Well, it could tell me that the killer is at least 4 or 5 inches taller than the victim, hmm?
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Yeah, unless he was standing on a box. Did you see a box out there?
Edward Delaney: No, doctor.
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: Six feet, and quick.
Edward Delaney: And powerful. And also well-dressed. And white - otherwise Gilbert would never let him get that close to him.
Dr. Sanford Ferguson: You know, Delaney, the intricacies of your mind never cease to amaze me.

Final hurrah for Frank.

"The First Deadly Sin" will be remembered as the last starring role for Frank Sinatra. It's a good performance in a decent (but should have been better) film.

Frank plays a New York homicide detective investigating a series of murders. This main story is a good one. It is involving and creepy. David Dukes turns in a terrific performance as the killer. The problem comes in the sub-plot with Faye Dunaway as Frank's dying wife. Every 10 or 15 minutes the film comes to a screeching halt so Frank can visit Faye in the hospital. Faye must have been desperate to work with Frank since she literally spends the entire film in a hospital bed. It's a needless distraction to the main plot.

Still the film is worth watching. Frank is at his gritty best as his whole world falls apart in front of his eyes. The film also does one other good thing. It erased the possibility that the awful "Dirty Dingus Magee" would be his last starring role.
