Overview

After losing an acting role and his girlfriend, Jake Scully finally catches a break: he gets offered a gig house-sitting in the Hollywood Hills. While peering through the beautiful home’s telescope one night, he spies a gorgeous woman dancing in her window. But when he witnesses the girl’s murder, it leads Scully through the netherworld of the adult entertainment industry on a search for answers—with porn actress Holly Body as his guide.

Viewing Notes

Over-the-top De Palma.  Stylish, erotic, sleazy, improbable, and still fun to watch.  Melanie Griffith is funny and sexy, but unfortunately doesn’t show up until the last third of the movie.
