A made-for-TV mystery, "Goodnight, My Love" is bolstered by a top-flight cast and a clever script. The plot revolves around a pair of down-and-out detectives: tall and disheveled Richard Boone, and short and immaculate Michael Dunn. Boone and Dunn are hired by icy blonde Barbara Bain to locate her missing fiance, but it's clear that she isn't telling them the whole story. The two gumshoes tangle with gangsters, racetrack touts and a sinister Maltese Falcon style fat man (Victor Buono) before learning the whole story behind the disappearance. "Goodnight, My Love" is filled with the many little vignettes that separate a fair mystery from a truly good one--including the unexpected killing off of a major character, a moment that manages to be both chilling and amusing. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Goodnight, My Love (1972) TV Movie
Cast: Barbara Bain, Gianni Russo, Michael Dunn, Richard Boone, Victor Buono
Spoof of TV crime dramas. Someone is murdering all the great detectives and cops, and it's up to the remaining few to find the killer and stop him. Very, very, very corny. Some of the worst spoofs ever.
