When I first saw this movie on Encore's Mystery channel I had no clue who Cybill Shepherd was. I was impressed though as Cybill made her way through Stormy Weathers as Sam (Samantha) Weathers, a private investigator for Weathers and Weathers investigation. Weathers and Weathers consist of Sam, the other Weathers is her dead dad, and she just kept the business and obviously the title. Everything in this movie fits not only Cybill, but her character right down to a science. From her men's clothing right down to her little hammerless revolver pistol, it all screams Sam Weathers. I was shocked when I found out it didn't make it to a series. It was rumored that Stormy Weathers was suppose to be a pilot for Cybill in her own crime drama series called Stormy. It was apparently just a rumor, or the pilot (Stormy Weathers) took it nowhere. But this movie has all the elements of a good, at least decent, crime drama. You have the investigator, (a female- which there were only a couple to begin with- Stormy Weathers for one and Kathleen Turner in V.I. Warshawski are the only ones who come to mind) a decent plot, a couple chase scenes, good fighting scenes (Sam knows karate), characters that actually look and act like they belong in a crime drama, and, when the plot unfolds it's not confusing. You find on the contraire it's very entertaining. 10 outta 10 for the movie, double that for Cybill.
