Townsperson
Una mujer viaja a el pueblo costero donde vive su padre, quien en sus últimas cartas parecía indicar que había contraído una enfermedad. El lugar parece un tanto deshabitado, y la gente con la que se encuentra son un tanto extraña. Al caer la noche, las calles se vuelven más animadas... y peligrosas. Definida como un mezcla entre La noche de los muertos vivientes y David Lynch.
Story
A San Francisco man is paid to bid on a saxophone and escort a woman to a yacht party.
Story
Pier 23 was one of three hour-long mysteries produced by Lippert Productions for both TV and theatrical release. Each of the three films was evenly divided into two half-hour "episodes," and each starred Hugh Beaumont as San Francisco-based amateur sleuth Dennis O'Brien. In Pier 23, O'Brien first tackles the case of a wrestler who has died of a suspicious heart attack after refusing to lose a match. He then agrees to help a priest talk an escaped criminal into returning to prison. The film's two-part structure leads to repetition and predictability, but it's fun to watch TV's "Ward Cleaver" making like Philip Marlowe.
