9. 1/10. One of De Palma's best outside of Carrie. Nancy Allen shows her potential here as the lead, pretty good. I found Dickinson amusing in that this 48 year old would be so careless and reckless in picking someone up at random. They at least showed what happens when you behave stupidly like that. Michael Caine's one of the only guys I know who can wear a dress and have a pretty good figure, just like Tim Curry.

Plot hole: After his mother's death, Peter sets a camera up outside her therapist's office, so he can see who goes in and who comes out; he thinks his mother's killer might be one of the doctor's patients - a tall woman with long blonde hair. All he sees is people going in and people coming out, and then he sees her - the tall blonde. Problem: He never saw her going in, only going out, which is critical, because the killer is the therapist - a tall man - wearing a long blonde wig and make-up. Of course no-one says anything about "We never saw her going in, only out, so it must be the therapist!"
