The first of several 1980s TV movies based on official FBI files, In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders premiered on November 27, 1988. Veteran TV "good guys" David Soul and Michael Gross do a typecasting about-face, playing two vicious, homicidal Miami-based bank robbers. The deadly duo's crime spree was climaxed by a bloody 1986 gun battle. Extremely violent, the film tempers its bloodshed with several instructive scenes showing how the FBI pieced together the clues that enabled them to track down their quarry. Doug Sheehan, Ronny Cox and Bruce Greenwood represent the forces of the Law. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Those adorable "twins" from Disney's Parent Trap have grown up and are now encountering similar romantic mix-ups in this made-for-cable-TV sequel. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

This campy oddity -- featuring John Carradine in one of his patented walk-on roles -- pits some silly facsimile of a motorcycle gang against an even sillier stuntman in a deep-pile shag suit who is supposed to be the legendary humanoid lurker of the Northwestern wilderness. It seems Bigfoot has developed an understandable liking for buxom human females (including Joy Lansing and one-time Russ Meyer regular Haji), whom he abducts and carries off to his scenic woodland retreat and ties to ridiculously scrawny trees. Apparently the bike boys are jealous -- abducting curvaceous cuties is also a favorite pastime of theirs -- and they embark on an uncoordinated rescue mission. Predating mid-'70s Bigfoot-mania (sparked by the famous home-movie sightings), this goofy outing is probably more entertaining than Legend of Boggy Creek and a dozen other "serious" pseudo-documentaries on the subject. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
A domestic-disturbance call gets Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) mixed up in the trials and tribulations of a former wrestler (played by veteran movie heavy Mike Mazurki) and his contentious spouse (Dorothy Keller). Elsewhere, the men of Adam-12 deal with a narcotics gang, and auto theft, and (per the episode's title) a bank robbery. Featured in the cast as Charles Jensen is Jed Allan, then currently costarring on the long-running CBS action series Lassie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
In this melodrama, Johnnie (Jayne Mansfield) struggles through a series of relationships and pregnancies only to be repeatedly deserted by her no-good lovers. As she moves from relationship to relationship, Johnnie continues to change her name, each time hoping for a new and better life. This was Jayne Mansfield's last film. ~ Iotis Erlewine, All Movie Guide
Martin's latest invention is a potion called Musical Distillate, which converts music into liquid. Tim (Bill Bixby) is convinced that he'll make a fortune with this invention, but he never gets the chance: Mistaking the Distillate for perfume, Mrs. Brown (Pamela Britton) sprays it on herself--and instantly becomes a piano virtuoso. Unfortunately, the potion has some bizarre side effects, prompting Martin (Ray Walston) to save Mrs. Brown from becoming a public embarrassment with the help of reclusive piano virtuoso Ilya Poltinikoff (played as a takeoff of Vladimir Horowitz by veteran comic actor Leon Belasco). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
