  Tightrope (1984)
The plot itself is functional but nothing special: a serial killer with a penchant for young, pretty blondes, is terrorising the city by disposing of prostitutes by strangling them and dumping the bodies all over the city.
The twist in TIGHTROPE is that the killer is also dogging the footsteps of kinky cop Detective Wes Block (Eastwood), a lonely divorcée with two young children.
Special mention here for real-life daughter Alison Eastwood, quite superb as the older and more perceptive girl, who clearly suspects her troubled father is up to more than just "looking for something" on his late night travels through New Orleans's seamier districts.

Petr Lorn's disappointing "On a Tightrope" paints a portrait of a group of orphans in Uighur, part of China's largest Muslim minority, who are trying to uphold the great tradition of tightrope walking.
The film, originally shot for TV and needing to allow for commercial breaks, is divided into the stories of a few different children, each with their own chapter.

 Firewater: The Man on the Burning Tightrope - PopMatters Music Review
The arrangements are more straightforward and less noirish; in fact, a first listen lends itself to dismissing the record as a pale shadow of The Ponzi Scheme, but still one that's far better than 2001's disappointing Psychopharmacology.
This time, Firewater seem to truly believe the devil is in the details, and after a few listens, the Klezmer strains, castanets, and slurred chants start to coalesce.
The Ponzi Scheme may have made you feel like you were in the heart of some film noir fantasy, but The Man on the Burning Tightrope adds tons of additional shadows to that already effective approach.

Tuggle made sure that the crime-solving elements and the psychological explorations fit smoothly together: the twist is that in order to be able to anticipate the sicko's actions, the cop has to learn to share his feelings, and finds the transition a little too easy to negotiate.
This is an especially upsetting film which has lost little (if any) of its dramatic impact.
