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]
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]
