Yaga! currently occupy-
‘ ing the tabloid back-
burner, the original troubled
Prince and Princess - Charles
and Diana - are the regal cou-
ple of the week in “Charles &
Diana: Unhappily Ever After”
(ABC, Dec. 15). Starting with
the romance-novel wedding,
the film spares no detail of the
subsequent imperiled relation-
ship. Roger Rees (“Cheers”)

Catherine Oxenberg

and Catherine Oxenberg (“Dy-
nasty”) play the titular pair.

e George Lucas (“Star
Wars”) and Ron Howard (“Far
and Away”) butted their cre-
ative heads together to make
“Willow” (Fox, Dec. 14), a
sword-and-sorcery special-ef-
fects bonanza about the ef-
forts of a kindly dwarf (War-
wick Davis) to protect a
messianic infant from the
forces of evil. Although direc-
tor Howard indulges in dis-
plays of preciousness a little
too often, it is to be excused,
for he compensates by keeping
the action rolling at a steady
clip. Val Kilmer (“The Doors”)

dal”) are on hand to provide
the non-dwarf teen romance
that is obligatory in such
films.

e Billed as a “psychological
thriller” concerning a troubled
relationship between an apart-
ment owner and the man who
renovates her pad, “Through
the Eyes of a Killer” (CBS,
Dec. 15) sounds like an episode
of “This Old House” gone terri-
bly wrong. Richard Dean An-
derson (“MacGyver”) plays the
fixer-upper with murder in his
eyes, and Marg Helgenberger
is his client-lover. Tippi He-
dren, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s
favorite leading ladies, also
stars as Anderson’s mother.

e Rutger Hauer is a convict
paroled for the murder of his
pregnant wife, while Natasha
Richardson plays his helpful
social worker who becomes in-
creasingly attracted to him, in
“Past Midnight” (USA, Dec.
16).

e Who needs a plot when the
cast includes Glenn Close and
the utterly beguiling Christo-
pher Walken? Fortunately
“Sarah, Plain and Tall” (CBS,
Dec. 19) not only has great act-
ing but also a charming story
to back it up. Adapted from
Patricia MacLachlan’s chil-
dren’s book about a Kansas
widower in 1910 who places an
ad in the newspaper for a bride
and gets Maine schoolteacher
Close, this “Hallmark Hall of
Fame” special was its most
watched installment of the
year when it first aired.

e Anna Chlumsky and Ma-
caulay Culkin star in “My
Girl” (HBO, Dec. 19), the bit-
tersweet comedy of love,
death and bee stings. Dan Ayk-
royd and Jamie Lee Curtis
also star.

On NBC’s “Mad About You,” Paul
(Paul Reiser) recalls in flashbacks
how he first met Jamie (Helen
Hunt) two years ago. As it turns
out, he first glimpsed her in some
film footage he shot, then tracked
her down to ask her on their first
date - at her office Christmas par-
ty. It airs Wednesday, Dec. 16.
