''The First Deadly Sin'' is a 1980 film directed by Brian G. Hutton.
Detective Edward Delaney (Music/FrankSinatra) is a New York homicide cop weeks away from retirement. He picks up what promises to be his last case: a man was murdered on the sidewalk by an unknown assailant who struck him in the head with an unknown weapon--all Delaney has to go on is that the weapon the killer used had a round, tapered end.
He consults an expert in medieval weaponry, who tells him that the murder weapon must be a modern-day tool. The weapons expert does some research on his own and discovers that the murder weapon is an ice axe. Meanwhile, Delaney finds out about another attack not all that far away in which the victim suffered similar wounds to the skull. He looks at past crime reports and discovers that a serial killer is stalking Manhattan.
Meanwhile, his wife Barbara (Creator/FayeDunaway) is dying. Barbara went into the hospital for kidney stones, but doctors found her kidney badly diseased and damaged and had to remove it, and Barbara is growing weaker as infection rages in her body.

* BadassLongcoat: The murderer stalks the streets in a black long coat with deep pockets that he uses to hide his ice axe.
* BrandishmentBluff: One suspect catches Delaney in his apartment, whereupon he sticks a gun in Delaney's back and demands ID. Delaney complies, only to turn around and find the man is in a wheelchair and he was actually jabbing Delaney in the back with his cane.
* ChalkOutline: You wouldn't think the NYPD would draw a chalk outline on the sidewalk, but they did.
* DaChief: Capt. Broughton, who straight up tells Delaney that he doesn't care about any crimes not committed in his precinct, even serial killers. He orders Delaney to stop his investigation but Delaney ignores him.
* DidTheyMentionItsChristmas: It's Christmas season, with trees and carolers, but that has nothing to do with the story other than to provide an ironic counterpoint to the pursuit of a crazed serial killer.
* DownerEnding: Barbara dies as Edward reads to her from her favorite old children's story book.
* GrossUpCloseUp: Part of the opening montage is a series of gross close-ups of Barbara getting her kidney removed. Extreme closeups of a scalpel slicing into flesh.
* IllGirl: Barbara, slowly dying from runaway infections.
* ISOStandardUrbanGroceries: Edward decides to mix it up by bringing home a bag of groceries that has a loaf of Wonder Bread sticking out, rather than the standard French bread.
* PowerfulPick: Delaney eventually discovers that the murder weapon is a mountain climber's ice axe. This proves to be his break in the case, as he finds the sporting goods store that sold the ice axe, and is able to trace through the store's contact list until he finds the killer.
* SerialKiller: A very messed-up guy who goes around Manhattan whacking people on the top of the head with an ice axe.
* ShowerOfAngst: From a deranged psycho, as Daniel Blank the serial killer curls up in a bottom of his shower weeping, after he went out looking for a victim only to meet Edward and lose a stare-down contest.
* TheUnfettered: After Blank comes out of his psychotic episode he taunts Edward, pointing out that Edward broke into his apartment and has no evidence, and that he (Blank) has high-powered lawyers and powerful friends and will get away with everything. Edward responds by shooting Blank in the head.
* VerbalIrony: Blank, calling the police, saying "I'm in no physical danger"...while Edward is standing behind him pointing a gun at his head. Edward then kills him.
