Description

Fashionable Manhattan therapist Dr. Robert Elliott (Caine) faces the most terrifying moment of his life when a psychotic killer begins attacking the women in his life (Dickinson, Allen) with a straight razor stolen from his office. Desperate to find the murderer before anyone else is hurt, Elliott is soon drawn into a dark and disturbing world of chilling desires. And as the doctor edges closer to the terrible truth, he finds himself lost in a provocative and deadly maze of obsession, deviance and deceit where the most harmless erotic fantasies can become the most deadly sexual nightmares!

    I actually saw this at the time as a teenager sneaking in to a local cinema. I've since seen it on the t.v. and my view is that as a thriller it hasn't aged well, very much a product of its time. Some thrillers do age well, e.g. some of Hitchcock's works, Dressed to Kill isn't one. The dialogue appears contrived and the acting isn't strong, characters are not well formed or believable. A shame really. I am prepared however to accept that looking at it through older eyes make me more likely to see the short comings.
