Dressed to Kill (1980)
Country: US
Technical: col 105m
Director: Brian de Palma
Cast: Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine, Nancy Allen
Synopsis:
A restless housewife sees a psychiatrist and sleeps with a casual acquaintance but dies brutally in a lift. Her son takes up the investigation with the help of a hooker.
Review:
Psycho by numbers: for theft read illicit sex, instead of last minute second thoughts she discovers her partner had an STD, etc. De Palma again shows he can construct an irreproachable sequence from the standpoint of cinema, but is increasingly in debt to others for his ideas. All the same this is one of his most virtuosic displays, even if his characters remain mired on the screen like marionettes.
