This explains why I thought Frank Sinatra played Travis McGee
in a movie. I saw one of the Tony Rome movies (Lady In
Cement, I think) a long, long time ago. Years later, I read
the Travis McGee books and kept trying to figure out which
one I had seen as a movie with Frankie in it. It must have
been because of the houseboat.
