I was in the mood for a good movie and this was it. Brian de Palma's initial exercise into Hitchcockery is really good. Bernard Hermman score, decent script - which De Palma ripped off himself a bunch of times - some very good actors, plucky lead from Jennifer Salt and showy work from Margot Kidder. Charles Durning (private investigator), Dolph Sweet (cop) pop up as cops.
I enjoyed the opening Candid Camera segment, Kidder's beauty, Salt's feminist heroine (who wrote a police bagging article so the cops don't like her), Durning's turn as an investigator, Salt's mum, the style, the feel.
