Dressed to Kill is a 1980 thriller film directed by Brian De Palma and starring Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson, Nancy Allen, Peter Miller, and Dennis Franz. I watched it on HBO Max.
trailer:
Criterion calls it "a veritable symphony of terror,". Roger Ebert says this director "deliberately set out to work in the Hitchcock tradition, and directed this Hitchcockian thriller that's stylish, intriguing, and very violent." Rotten Tomatoes has a 79% critics consensus rating.

DeleteThe Husband picked up a vcr to dvd converter but has never used it. It was such a fun idea. I'm not sure why he never acted on it.
DeleteI have seen this! It has a great cast, many members of which were relative unknowns at the time.

I have trouble remembering if I've seen a film, too.

ReplyDelete1980 is longer ago than it seems.
DeleteThat title is so familiar. I used to like Angie Dickenson.
ReplyDeleteShe's still around, though the last film credit I see for her was many years ago.
DeleteSounds scary but good!
ReplyDeleteIt has its scary moments.
DeleteFab cast and I seen to remember this having some Alfred Hitchcock moments 😊. Doesn't Michael Caine look young too. Happy wishes! Hugs Jo x
