Based on the real-life experiences of Jill Kinmont, The Other Side of the Mountain (KTLA Sunday at 4 p.m.) stars a vibrant Marilyn Hassett as the young skier who is paralyzed from the chest down in a skiing accident. The 1975 film makes clear the courage and determination of Kinmont but fails to come to grips with the high risk and the winning-is-everything spirit in sports, which were inescapable factors in her fate. Beau Bridges co-stars. The 1978 sequel, The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2 (KTLA Sunday at 6 p.m.) is even less rewarding.

Blake Edwards’ 1986 A Fine Mess (KTLA Monday at 8 p.m.) is an erratic and extended slapstick chase movie about a horse-doping scandal, two hapless Hollywood hangers-on and the two bumbling torpedoes pursuing them. Ted Danson, Howie Mandel, Richard Mulligan and Stuart Margolin star.

A broadly drawn soap opera, the 1992 TV movie Doing Time on Maple Drive (KTTV Monday at 8 p.m.) looks at the flip side of a seemingly perfect All-American family, but it washes out along the way, and its cast, headed by James B. Sikking, is ultimately defeated.

Pascali’s Island (KTLA Tuesday at 2 a.m.), writer-director James Dearden’s subtle, literate 1988 film from a 1979 Barry Unsworth novel, stars Ben Kingsley as a Turkish spy, becalmed some 20 years on a Greek isle in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire, whose serene life unexpectedly unravels with the arrival of a British archeologist (Charles Dance).

The 1990 Another 48 HRS (CBS Tuesday at 9 p.m.) teams-up again Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy, who made his smash screen debut in the 1982 “48 HRS,” but it’s just a retread of the original.

Evil Under the Sun (KTLA Wednesday at 3 a.m.) is a delightful 1982 rendering of an Agatha Christie yarn set in a tiny luxury hotel (owned by ex-actress Maggie Smith) in the Adriatic in the ‘30s and peopled with raffish American and British visitors caught up in murder. Among Smith’s guests: a glamorous musical-comedy star (Diana Rigg), a Hollywood columnist (Roddy McDowall), a husband-and-wife Broadway producing team (James Mason and Sylvia Miles)--and Peter Ustinov’s Hercule Poirot. Cole Porter tunes provide the background for the sophisticated fun.

Family Business (KTLA Friday at 8 p.m.), a frail 1989 caper movie, is overawed by its cast and, furthermore, asks us to believe that Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick are grandfather, father and son.
