A criminal well known to detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) may have been responsible for the murder of a businessman. Unfortunately, the investigation is impeded by the FBI, who insist upon shielding the prime suspect. Without giving away the outcome, it can be noted that one of the guest actors plays a dual role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When Ronald Moody (Paul Lieber), the man convicted of killing DeeDee McCall's husband Steve, is paroled, McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) reopens the case on which Steve had been working at the time of his death. She also defies orders and begins tailing Moody, hoping to find a connection between him and the case. With grim inevitability, Moody turns up dead, and McCall is the Number One suspect. It is up to Hunter (Fred Dwyer) to find out who placed the phone call which framed McCall--and who had earlier set up her husband for extermination in the same manner. Franc Luz appears as the late Sgt. Steve McCall in flashbacks. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

No sooner have David (Bruce Willis) and Maddie (Cybill Shepherd) been hired to handle security at SRT Industries than they're fired by Brian and Vivian Baker (Cotter Smith, Lenore Kasdorf), the brother-sister team who run the firm on behalf of their father Carl (Bill Morey). The reason for the dismissal? Someone has managed to smuggle SRT's industrial secrets to a competitor right under the detectives' noses. Maddie suspects that someone is using a professional medium to read the minds of the SRT employees in order to siphon off their secrets. She's right--but there are a couple of other flies in the ointment as well! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
This is a remastered version of macabre rock star Alice Cooper's 1975 performance of his Welcome to My Nightmare rock & roll show before a live audience in London. Without the pioneering Cooper, there would be no Marilyn Manson or any of a number of modern derivative acts. His elaborate theatrics, encompassing lots of makeup, smoke machines, skeletons, giant spiders, a cyclops, and the disembodied voice of horror movie star Vincent Price, established benchmarks for years of subsequent hard rock band tours. By 1989, Cooper's appeal had dwindled to the point where his concerts were often small affairs that mainly attracted disaffected boys scarcely in their teens too drunk to comprehend the tongue-in-cheek aspects of Cooper's performance. By that time, some of the speakers on-stage were just hollow props. In this performance, however, Alice Cooper rocks on at the height of his fame. Songs performed include "The Awakening," "Welcome to My Nightmare," "Eighteen," "School's Out," "Only Women Bleed," and "Billion Dollar Babies." ~ Steve Blackburn, All Movie Guide

For the first time since its limited theatrical release in the mid-1970s comes this feature-length performance film starring the grandfather of shock rock himself, Alice Cooper. Never before available on home video or DVD, this film captures the band in peak form during their 1973 Billion Dollar Babies tour. This is the early cut of Good to See You Again, Alice Cooper, featuring not only a variety of skits performed by the band themselves, but thunderous live performances of such classic tunes as "Elected", "Under My Wheels", "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and, of course, Billion Dollar Babies". ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
