Viewing Notes

I hadn’t seen this De Palma film in many years but it made a strong impression on me as a teenager, mainly because of the full frontal nudity scene and the elevator murder scene.

Doesn’t hold up quite as well as I remembered, but it’s still a great film with excellent performances by Angie Dickenson, Michael Caine and Nancy Allen. Quintessential De Palma.
