Mildly diverting story of San Francisco lawyer Dean Martin whose defense of a black militant leads to attempts on his life. He butts heads with the police, including a racist turned killer and the chief approaching retirement. He hangs out at an Italian restaurant and has a faithful dog that he takes to the office. The identity of the killer with a shotgun will be a surprise, even for attentive viewers. The cool jazz soundtrack is by Chico Hamilton, but I couldn't tell if that was him performing live in the nightclub scene.
