Summary of Sea of Love

New York cop Frank Keller is on the trail of a serial killer who murders men answering personal ads in the classifieds. The ads, written in poetic couplets, are quite romantic, but those who meet their mysterious author end up dead in their own apartments with a 45rpm copy of the '50s single "Sea of Love" on their turntables. Keller, suspecting the murderer is a woman, places his own advertisement in the paper and sets up dinner dates (one every half-hour) with the respondents; he lifts their fingerprints from their wine glasses and matches them against those of the murderer, taken from the crime scene. But Keller's scheme fails when he falls in love with one of the suspects and refuses to check her prints. With each passing day their romance grows hotter... and the growing evidence keeps pointing more strongly to her guilt.

Users Reviews

Good mystery, good drama, good dialogue, good acting and good script. I'm not a huge Al Pacino fan, and this isn't my usual cup o' tea, but it held my interest, and kept me in suspense. Worth a rent.

Intense and sexual

I have loved this one since back in the day. This movie is about a serial killer who tracks his victims down via personal ads. Al Pacino is great as a police detective in a murder investigation who places an ad in the 'Lonely Hearts' club. Great...
