In this "guilty pleasure" outing by B-budget director Denis Sanders (Shock Treatment), William Smith plays an FBI man investigating reports of a coven of "bee-girls" -- women who have taken on the characteristics of bees, and who kill men upon making love. A cute device throughout the film allows us to see the action from a bee's-eye view. The script, by no less than Nicholas Meyer, pokes gentle fun at the conventions of the cheapo-horror genre without ever stooping to cheap parody. Invasion of the Bee Girls was also released as Graveyard Tramps. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Albert Paulsen guest-stars as Albert Zembra, a terminally ill Syndicate drug dealer. The IMF's mission: to extract details of Zembra's operation from the dying mobster, thereby severely crippling the heroin trade. The strategy: Paris poses as an underworld kingpin who aspires to become Zembra's most trusted friend--and his most likely successor. Seen in the supporting role of Eve is Victoria Vetri, aka Ahna Capri, whom film buffs will remember as the Coven's first victim in Rosemary's Baby. Scripted by David Moessinger from a story by Moessinger and Walter Brough, "Squeeze Play" first aired on December 12, 1970. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In his TV-movie debut, Sammy Davis Jr. plays a wisecracking private eye drawn into a web of murder and duplicity. Davis is suddenly attacked from all sides by crooks and cops alike, who seem to believe he's got something they want. Eventually he figures he's been set up as the fall guy for a mysterious crime, and that somehow this is tied in with a missing diary which contains information that could prove fatal to his ex-girlfriend. The plotline of The Pigeon substitutes confusion for cleverness, resulting in a second-rate "B" melodrama. But Sammy Davis Jr. is always worth watching, especially as he tosses off clever bits of banter which seem to be ad-libbed. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this historical adventure saga, Balam (George Chakiris) is the son of the ruler of the Mayan people; when his father is killed in battle, Balam succeeds his father as King and leads his followers out of Mexico to a coastal region. The Mayan's new home, however, is already the province of a hostile Indian tribe led by Black Eagle (Yul Brynner), who leads a raid against the Mayan's camp. Balam is severely injured, but Black Eagle's wife Ixchel (Shirley Ann Field) tends to his wounds, and eventually the two leaders agree to settle their differences and coexist in peace. Hunac Ceel (Leo Gordon), Balam's old nemesis, is not so forgiving. He has followed the Mayans to their new home, where he and his troops mount a furious attack, with the Indians and the Mayans leading a united front against the invaders. Kings of the Sun also features Richard Basehart, Brad Dexter, and Barry Morse. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
