Sunday evening’s only new film offering is the conclusion to Jack the Ripper (CBS at 9 p.m.), in which we’re promised an attempt at identifying the serial killer who terrorized London a century ago.

Also airing Sunday are: Popeye (Channel 13 at 6 p.m.), Robert Altman’s curiously clunky 1980 film based on the beloved comic-strip character--Robin Williams does, however, take a good shot at the title character whereas Shelley Duvall was born to play Olive Oyl; Aurora (Channel 9 at 7 p.m.), a 1984 TV movie that’s a so-so star vehicle for Sophia Loren as a woman who tricks her former lovers into paying for an eye operation for her son (played by her own son, Edoardo Ponti, then 11); Calamity Jane (Channel 5 at 8 p.m.), a top-notch 1984 TV movie with Jane Alexander as the frontier character; and The Getaway (Channel 13 at 8 p.m.), with Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw in Sam Peckinpah’s suspenseful 1972 slam-bang diversion.

Wait Until Dark (Channel 13 Monday at 8 p.m.) offers always-welcome escapist entertainment that builds suspense to a terrifying climax, but Terence Young’s direction lacks the personal touch that an Alfred Hitchcock would have brought to it. Based on the popular Frederick Knott play, this 1967 film finds plenty of life in the lady-in-distress formula; the extra twist is that she’s blind--and very ably played by Audrey Hepburn.

With the new TV movie Indiscreet (CBS Monday at 9 p.m.), Robert Wagner and Lesley-Anne Down attempt to fill the shoes of no less than Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, who starred in the memorable original 1958 version of the comedy.

Brian’s Song, the landmark 1970 TV movie starring James Caan and Billy Dee Williams as Chicago Bears football players Brian Piccolo, who was stricken with cancer, and Gale Sayers, returns to Channel 9 Monday at 10 p.m.

Valerie Bertinelli stars as Pancho Barnes (CBS Tuesday at 8 p.m.), a new TV movie about a pioneer American aviatrix.

David (ABC Tuesday at 9 p.m.) stars Bernadette Peters in her TV movie debut as Marie Rothenberg, a single parent whose ex-husband Charles (John Glover) attempted to burn to death their 6-year-old son David (Matthew Lawrence).

Writer Paul Schrader made a potent 1978 directorial debut with Blue Collar (Channel 13 Wednesday at 8 p.m.), a wry melodrama starring Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel and Yaphet Kotto as auto workers who discover they’re being ripped off by their own union.

The 1967 generation gap classic The Graduate, with Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross, returns on Channel 5 Thursday at 8 p.m.

A work of simplicity and purity, the 1971 Man in the Wilderness (Channel 13 Thursday at 8 p.m.) is a provocative adventure film that should be appreciated especially--but not exclusively--by young boys. A struggle-for-survival drama dealing with spiritual redemption and set in the rugged, dangerous American Northwest of the first half of the the 19th Century, it stars an eloquent Richard Harris as a fur-trapper left for dead (after having been mauled by a bear) by the expedition’s leader (John Huston), an iron-willed sea captain who eventually emerges as a symbol of man’s folly, greed and guilt. Writer Jack DeWitt and director Richard Sarafian make Harris’ fate a matter of absorbing suspense in this handsome film.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Channel 5 Saturday at 8 p.m.) is the original, terrifying 1956 science-fiction classic directed by Don Siegel. Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter star in this chilling tale of a small town whose inhabitants are being taken over by alien “pods.”
