NBC (Mon., April 20, 9 P.M. ET)

In a soft-boiled, '40s private-detective film, Crystal (Wings) Bernard plays an investigator named Dol Bonner, sleuthing in L.A. during World War II. Annabeth {Mystic Pizza) Gish is her sidekick. Dan Castellaneta and Polly Bergen costar.
The movie takes a parlor murder mystery, adds a sprinkling of feminism and a dash(iell) of Hammett. The result is so hard to follow, uninvolving and ludicrously unconvincing, it could have bypassed NBC completely and gone directly to Comedy Central's Mystery Science Theater 3000 as a target for the spoof treatment. I'd love to hear Joel, Tom Servo and Crow riff on this turkey.
