Dead Pigeon on Beethoven Street was a made-for-TV movie by legendary American B-film director Sam Fuller (The Naked Kiss, Shock Corridor, The Big Red One, etc.) that aired in Germany in 1974 as part of Tatort, a popular and very long running cop show.
Tatort (it means "crime scene") is sort of an anthology series, with various teams of detectives from different regions of Germany working to solve crimes.

Fuller somehow managed to convince the show’s producers to allow him to write the episode in English and essentially sideline its star, a customs investigator named Kressin (Sieghardt Rupp), in favor of a one-time protagonist, an American private dick named Sandy (Glenn Corbett), who is investigating the murder of his partner (the “dead pigeon” of the title) who, in turn, was investigating a political blackmail ring.
