Movie review - "Murder a la Mod" (1968) **

 De Palma can't see he didn't warn us - his interests are evident from his first feature: being pervy about women, filmmakers who work in schlock, visual tricky, unfunny wacky comedy, Hitchcock references, sex and death, violence against women, ingenue stars, script switches.

The plot has a girl wanting to help her egotistical filmmaker boyfriend.

The scene with the guy in the bank talking in monotone was hard to take. It's clearly made by someone with talent, with a student's energy and smart arse-ness.
