1991  
 
Set in England and Europe, Death Has a Bad Reputation stars Alan Howard as a crack British espionage agent. Howard breaks and twists the rules to bring terrorist Tony Lo Bianco to justice. The quest is as much personal as professional: Howard's son has just been seriously injured in a terrorist attack. Pamela Villoresi and Elizabeth Hurley costar in this fast-moving, thriftily produced thriller. One of the first of many TV movies made to order for the USA Cable Network, Death Has a Bad Reputation debuted on March 14, 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1990  
 
Pride and Extreme Prejudice was first seen January 17, 1990, on the USA Cable TV network. Brian Dennehy is atypically but effectively cast as an ageing CIA agent headquartered in West Germany. Dennehy has recently recovered from a nervous breakdown, and as a result he falls under the deadly scrutiny of both the CIA and the KGB. The weary "mole" is sent on a mission in the Eastern sector from which neither side expects him to return--in fact, they're hoping he won't. Just a tad outdated by late-breaking world events, Pride and Extreme Prejudice was written directly for television by Frederick Forsyth. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1985  
 
This uneven thriller starts with a young pianist barely catching a train, and then since she is without money, a friendly woman buys her ticket for her. Inge (Sabina Trooger) is an enterprising journalist for the tabloids, and after she buys the ticket to Munich for Claudia (Sunnyi Melles), the two share a drink of cognac in their compartment. Claudia rips away a section of the day's paper which mentions that a pianist is being sought in connection with her husband's murder, and Inge starts to doze off without yet realizing that her cognac was laced with a barbiturate. When she comes to, Inge eventually gets Claudia to tell her story -- that she is innocent of any wrongdoing -- and is convinced enough to start helping Claudia out of her dilemma. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
