Caroline at Midnight is a 1993 erotic thriller film, written by Travis Rink and directed by Scott McGinnis. Rated R, it was released direct-to-video in December 1993. It aired on Cinemax in 1994 and the Showtime Network in 1995. In 1995 it was screened on The Movie Channel's Joe Bob's Drive-in Theater with producer Roger Corman discussing the making of the film with film critic Joe Bob Briggs. In reflecting on her career in a 2009 interview in the Los Angeles Times, Virginia Madsen described her role in this film as indicative of the low quality sex driven films which she was type cast in during the 1990s.
Plot Jack Lynch (Clayton Rohner) is an investigative reporter who comes into possession of a ledger detailing the criminal activities of two corrupt narcotics detectives, Ray Dillon (Tim Daly) and Phil Gallo (Judd Nelson). While pursuing the story, Jack is contacted by a woman named Caroline, who promises to provide further evidence. However, before they can meet, Caroline is killed in a suspicious car accident. As Jack investigates Caroline's death, he enters into a volatile affair with Victoria (Mia Sara), a woman who claims to be a friend of the victim but is actually Ray Dillon’s wife. The situation escalates when Jack becomes entangled with Susan Prince (Virginia Madsen), a high-level drug dealer who is also being targeted by the corrupt officers. Jack must navigate a dangerous web of betrayal and double-crosses to expose the detectives and survive the deadly conflict between the police and the criminal underworld.
