This Girl for Hire

1983 · 100 min

A breezy, tongue-in-cheek whodunit that coasts on charm, colorful characters and gentle Hollywood satire rather than real danger.

Overview: In this pilot for a proposed TV series, B.T. Brady is a flippant, but somewhat klutzy female private detective in Hollywood who sets out to solve the murder of a obnoxious mystery writer. Along the way, Brady gets help from her flamboyant mother Zandra, a washed-up actress, as well as Brady's live-in boyfriend Wolfe who runs a memorabilia shop.
