Written and directed by Brian De Palma, Dressed to Kill (1980) is an elegant and masterful work. Full of the director's signature style elements, split-frames and strong sequences (including a wonderful scene in the Metropolitan Museum of Art), De Palma's talents are on full display. The story is great, concerning the murder of a woman, and the determination of her son and a prostitute who witnessed the slaying, to solve the crime. Angie Dickinson is the ill-fated heroine. Nancy Allen is a high-class call girl. Michael Caine is great as the psychiatrist. Dennis Franz in a tough cop, and Keith Gordon is great as the tech-savvy son.
