Someone is killing a bunch of nude models and it's up to Tom Skerritt's detective to get to the bottom of it. He meets a former model played by Sharon Stone who might not be as sweet and innocent as she tries to pretend to be.
This functions as an unofficial warmup for Stone's similar femme fatale role in Basic Instinct. She's much better vamping it up as a potential murderer than when she's trying out the wholesome good girl routine where, try as she might, she doesn't convince.
The story is boring and been done better a million times before. It's a film that might have benefited from an R rating to add a little extra sleaze to keep things more interesting.

This is a good, solid '80's TV movie of the week thriller. Lots of '80's glitz & glam, not as much substance. Tom Skerritt saves this movie, from itself, and distracts from how bad Sharon Stone's acting is. A fun, silly romp into the past.
I just got this movie on Netflix; I found it by looking for Tom Skerritt movies. I feel that he's an actor who should have made it bigger than he did. He did a credible job in the role. Barbara Bosson was fine as his wife, and I liked the pre-Voyager Robert Beltran as his partner (but do detectives dress like that while on duty?). I had recently seen Knight Moves, and Daniel Baldwin was extremely annoying as Skerritt's partner; Beltran's character was much better written. I've been a fan of Barbara Parkins' since Mephisto Waltz, so it was nice to see her again; she's still as gorgeous as ever. Sharon Stone is drop-dead gorgeous here. I can't recommend this movie unless you're a fan of the actors, but, if you have it, it is watchable.
Millionaire Richard Trainor (Robert Culp) is celebrating the fact that his new calendar featuring twelve nude woman is a huge success. However the party is ruined when Miss January is pushed off a building and later on that night Miss February is knifed to death.
If you want to see Alan Thicke as a glamor photographer, Tom Skerritt as a cop (not surprisingly) and a young Sharon Stone, this is the film for you. Skerritt (who plays the oddly-named Detective Stoner) must find out who is killing the calendar girls... and you might keep guessing until the end! The film is made or television, so it is pretty tame. No nudity (despite the plot's description) and fairly mild violence. They found ways to stab and murder women without it being too messy, and this is no more racy than the average episode of "Murder She Wrote".

This movie was on lifetime movie networks and is a clever, kinky tale of murders at a fashion shoot. check it out for sharon stone's early perfomance as a model being stalked by a psycho killer who is also offing her friends. Tom Skerrit plays the detective on the hunt for the killer before he gets to Stone. A clever whodunit, not too bad for a tv movie.
