Plot

[edit]

Millionaire publisher Richard Trainor (Robert Culp) is celebrating the success of his new calendar, featuring twelve beautiful nude women. However, the party is ruined when Miss January is pushed off a building. Later in the evening, Miss February is knifed to death. Police Lieutenant Dan Stoner (Tom Skerritt) is assigned to the case and he immediately strikes up a friendship with photographer Cassie Bascomb (Sharon Stone). While Dan investigates the case, Cassie is attacked. What connection might she have to the case, if any... and will the murderer be caught before he/she reaches Miss December?[3]

Reception

Sue Heal at Radio Times wrote:

A chance to see Sharon Stone on the early road to stardom in this steamy, over-larded tale of a serial killer with a penchant for bumping off centrefolds. Detective Tom Skerritt struggles successfully to keep a straight face in the eye of a storm of hoary clichés, as the meticulous killer works his way through the months like an over-zealous accountant. Misses January and February have bitten the soft-focus dust. Can Miss March possibly survive?[4]
