I believe that had it not been for the over-the-top violence and nudity, Angie Dickinson would have been nominated for an Academy Award. The museum scene alone would have qualified her- she certainly deserved one. DePalma's best film.

Who would be stupid enough to pick up the razor?

from 2.27 there is one of the most extraordinary moments of slowing down set against quick mental calculation and reaction I have ever seen in the cinema. It is ten seconds of genius and almost totally original. In the cinema , it is electrifying.

Haven growing up in NYC at this time, the scene captured the angst all New Yorkers had of riding elevators. Muggings, rapes, slashings, beatings took place daily in elevators all across New York circa 1980. This film is excellent on so many levels but is outstanding for capturing the psychological fear and terror which had enthralled NYC at the time. NYC today is another planet. If you didn't live there at the time, you simply think this is simply De Palma's imagination or exagerration.

from the first cut to her hand, this scene always gave me the creeps, depalma did his job, perhaps one of the scarest scenes ever and the part where she sees the killer in the mirror at the last moment, genius great film making

Such a funny movie. De Palma's jokes are of the insidious variety, verging on camp but deliberately so, and with a tongue-in-cheek wit that isn't much around these days. Yes, the screaming cleaning lady is hilarious, as is the music, which sounds like a PARODY of "serious" dramatic tension. All the other hysterical stuff in the film - I especially like the seduction scene between Michael Caine and Nancy Allen toward the end - is classic.

@UFOSPACE1999 I really want to respond to your comments dear Hymen, but I can't understand a word you've written. It's because you are uneducated and from the underclass which I don't hold against you, but there is no hope for you. I only hope you can find someone who will be able to read this to you.

oh god...first angie dickenson lost her glove at the museum, caught a venereal disease at a stranger's apartment, lost her wedding ring, and now she's getting slashed by a psycho. today's just not angie's day :(

I LOVE this movie! It's DePalma's best film, and Angie was magnificent! I just watched my DVD tonight, and it gets even better with each viewing. I agree with ricke1100, she sould have gotten an Oscar nomination for this performance! A+

@UFOSPACE1999 She picked up the knife probably for evidence. Write a better movie before making stupid comments about people's movies.
