Although the network touted the 1992 TV movie Stormy Weathers (ABC Sunday at 9 p.m.) to be “in the hard-boiled tradition of film noir,” the private-eye caper starring Cybill Shepherd is about as hard-boiled as a marked-down chocolate Easter egg left out in the May sun.

There’s a lethal lack of humor in HBO’s lumbering 1993 remake of the 1958 sci-fi movie Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman (KTTV Tuesday at 8 p.m.). Darryl Hannah stars in this attempt at an “Attack of the 50 Ft. Feminist,” which works neither as spoof nor a message about female empowerment; big woman, big flop.

Although flawed by an inappropriate flashbulb-popping, sound-bite style, Long Shadows (KCET Wednesday at 8 p.m.), a 1994 “American Playhouse” presentation, captures the flowering of Haru (Fumi Dan), the shy, aristocratic Japanese wife of the late Edwin Reischauer (Matt Frewer), former American ambassador to Japan. Haru comes not only to transcend her own nationality but also her dutiful identity as the ambassador’s wife, or “long shadow.”

In the radiant 1987 Roxanne (KCOP Friday at 8 p.m.), Steve Martin starred as well as wrote this update of “Cyrano de Bergerac” directed by Fred Schepisi. In this warm contemporary romance, Martin plays a ski village fire chief whose success with women is defeated by the enormity of his nose (and an apparent allergy to anesthetics that rules out plastic surgery). Daryl Hannah has the title role as the smart and sublimely beautiful object of his affections. Rick Rossovich (“ER”) is the go-between.

Clint Eastwood’s 1971 directorial debut, Play Misty for Me (KTLA Friday at 8 p.m.), is a confidently made thriller in which he plays a Monterey Bay deejay whose one-night stand with Jessica Walter turns her into a crazed attacker. Far more plausible than “Fatal Attraction.” Eastwood’s frequent director, Don Siegel, plays Murphy the bartender.

The Goodbye Girl (KCOP Saturday at 6 p.m.) is quintessential Neil Simon: slick, sentimental and entertaining. In this 1977 diversion, Marsha Mason plays a Broadway dancer with no luck with men who winds up with a struggling actor (Richard Dreyfuss, who won the best actor Oscar for this) as an unexpected roommate.

The Lost Weekend (KCET Saturday at 9 p.m.) is Billy Wilder’s 1945 landmark account of an alcoholic; it won Oscars for best picture, director screenplay and actor (Ray Milland).
