Sara Lee I say unto thee...this film has some LOUSY EDITING when one considers that a couple of key scenes are MISSING even on the more recent DVD release!

A good movie RUINED BY LOUSY EDITING. Thanks a lot for releasing a DVD after all this time only to include the hacked up version as opposed to to a more sensible edited version that explains the killing motives.

Are you talking about editing, or just continuity?
I din't felt confused with the plot. It is unecesserarly slow paced, but that's another question. The reason for the killings were too obvious to clarified: The real model obviously couldn't be running around while her image was been used. Scandal alert. And it would be not just a problem of paying the model, but keeping the very illusion of a perfect type, that a real person could never be, 24h a day, all her life, in private life.
It's pretty outdated today, but the point was made.
