Dressed to Kill

A bit stilted, as are so many of DePalma's films, but also genuinely
creepy -- and filmed with the trademark bravura that was (and is) his
signature style. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works,
though I must admit that I somehow knew of one key plot twist already
and it diminished the shock value that a first blush viewing was
intended to elicit.
