The Bait Summary
Director: Leonard Horn
Genres: Thriller
Rating:
Donna_Mills was still in her "imperiled heroine" career stage when she starred in the made-for-TV The_Bait. Mills is a policewoman who goes incognito to solves a baffling series of rape-murders. Almost as deadly as the rapist is the sexism Mills must suffer from her superior officer (Michael_Constantine)--which at times is played for laughs. Based on a novel by former policewoman Dorothy Uhnak, who must have been appalled at the liberties taken with her work by this film, The_Bait was the pilot for an unlaunched weekly TV series. Sidenote (courtesy of TV-movie historian Lee Goldberg): Noam_Pitlik, a guest star in The_Bait, would later direct several episodes of the police sitcom Barney_Miller. Hal Erickson, Rovi
