Summary: Film History on Videotape Podcast / Brian De Palma Month / Review #154 / Dressed To Kill Know what sounds good? A clunkily paced suspense murder thriller with tons and TONS of nudity and sex. Oh and Michael Caine too. When Dressed to Kill was released in 1980, it pushed the boundaries of what was tasteful in major studio pictures. When a bored housewife turns up dead after an afternoon tryst with a stranger, an investigation ensues involving her son, her psychiatrist, and a hooker who witnessed the killing. Alot can be said about this movie. Its as equally entertaining as it is trashy and a little dirty. With tips of the hat to Hitchcock and Antonioni, De Palma's style is all over this and its really something to behold. Check it out! Download this episode (right click and save)
