Dressed to Kill
(Media) kinda suppressed this film because of the Hitchcock trespass. It NEVER got what it deserved.
Some genuinely terrifying parts in this...
Caine in the vestibule as the girl settles in at the elevator.
The cross ways cut of Caine picking up that glove on the street.
Of course the dream sequence at the end,,,the empty hospital shoes.
Dickinson's last glance (looks left) at the outside world as she is "rushed" into the man's apartment building.
Caine in the subway car window.
This film is the goods. Absolute goods.
I'd give you a Direct Hit, PR, but, I'm on your shit list & you wouldn't see it.

i've only seen dressed to kill once, quite recently, and i remember liking it quite a bit, but it seems to have fallen out of my head about as quickly as it entered. perhaps that's a reflection on me rather than the film, but if a movie has no staying power, i can't quite rate it among my favourites.
but i'll give it another go one of these days, and perhaps it'll work its way into my head a little more permanently.
