Viewing Notes

This title was in the Arrow Video sale and I considered buying it bc De Palma. But I saw it was currently on MUBI so I watched it there rather than drop the cash. It’s a good movie, no shocker there, but also good fun guessing what was going with Cliff Robertson’s wife, in this homage to Hitchcock and Vertigo. Given where this goes I’m not surprised Schrader wrote the screenplay and share the story credit w/De Palma. Tho it was p easy to guess who was behind everything from the start.
