David Janssen as a seasoned, gruff detective with not much time or interest in finding out what happened to a elderly priest on the Golden Gate Bridge. As time rolls around and around he is accompanied by a young nun that does not believe that the priest jumped. This is really a budding love story between the two people. It is certainly a mystery and Janssen is wonderful in this part, eventually finding that there was a phantom creeping around pushing people off the bridge. I don't think that Janssen every got the admiration he deserved for his obvious ability to make people feel they wanted to help him be a better man. You still see the same vulnerability in his face and in his demeanor. As far as how people said he aged in this movie, I like him at this age. There is something so attractive about him here that you can believe that women of all ages would fall in love with him. A must watch for Janssen fans.
