Two Different Mr. Riccos
From the 1975 trailer: Dean Martin had his final leading role in this obscure drama about a San Francisco lawyer defending a black militant (Thalmus Rasulala) on trial for murder. The familiar supporting cast includes Cindy Williams, Philip Michael Thomas, and Room 222's Denise Nicholas. Filmmaker Paul Bogart, who directed many of the best episodes of the ground-breaking series All in the Family, went on to make Torch Song Trilogy.
From a 1969 nytimes article: A KV life gone astray. Those that knew him well said he was an ok guy who went on afterwards to lead a productive life.
