Overview
Beloved priest Father Thomasino is murdered in a San Francisco alley, and the police have few clues. But traffic cop Joe Martini becomes obsessed with finding the killer; he suspects Sylvio Malatesta. Ordered off the case, Joe turns in his badge and investigates alone. Soon he is a close friend of the Malatesta family, all delightful people, especially lovely cousin Anna. Uncertain whether Sylvio is guilty or innocent, Joe is now torn between old and new loyalties.

00:04:58 You were six years old.
00:09:11 But the funeral is over. I'm fresh out of excuses.
00:13:02 Thanks.
00:16:47 I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr. Martini.
00:19:42 I'd like to very much.
00:23:00 Maybe a job will help you.
00:28:35 Hey, Joe! Excuse me.
00:31:45 Nobody's pushing... Take your hands off me.
00:36:27 All of a sudden he looks at his watch...
00:40:20 so Joe made him apologize to me in front of the whole room.
00:44:04 Not me, mister. It's against the law.
00:47:26 Come on, Joe.
00:50:35 We're all finished. Let's go to the other room.
00:53:57 And another present for you. Oh, my goodness.
00:57:29 Then maybe you put on your new Chinese pajamas and show everybody.
01:00:32 Take a look.
01:03:55 They're back, aren't they?
01:07:16 May I ask who you are?
01:10:13 I was in no mood for exact time.
01:13:14 If I play them right, Malatesta will walk in here by himself.
01:17:42 Give me that gun.
01:20:56 You laugh when there's nothing to laugh at.
01:25:42 He's a good boy.
