I'm glad she shelved the project at that time due to the circumstances, but I hope she'll eventually resume writing.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-86851555010302949732020-03-01T10:46:27.955-05:002020-03-01T10:46:27.955-05:00I agree that Dressed to Kill features strong femal...I agree that Dressed to Kill features strong female characters. In addition to Angie, Nancy Allen is very good as the heroine. Alas, she didn’t get a lot of good roles. Your theme can also be applied to other parts of the film, but I won’t discuss here because it would give away too much of the plot.

Not a Listicle, per se (because...well, just because). I had a huge crush on Angie when I was growing up. She was 1970s era gorgeous and her hair and makeup at the time was era-appropriate.<br /><br />Agree with her that her performance in Dressed to Kill was truly great. DePalma is perhaps our most under-rated and under-appreciated Director, and Dressed is maybe his second best film, behind Scarface. Its a very close second, and perhaps only because of DePalma's almost fauning deference to Hitchcock.<br /><br />When I first saw Dressed (in my early days as a no nothing Feminist) I thought it was an anti-woman film. I have re-assessed it and now think it is very Feminist, and very enlightened, in that it shows how even a strong, intelligent and beautiful woman can become prey to a Predatory Man.<br /><br />Great stuff.Eric Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494404128694639359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-21790102845062326352020-02-27T08:23:31.256-05:002020-02-27T08:23:31.256-05:00I loved Angie's commentary on the Gunsmoke ann...I loved Angie's commentary on the Gunsmoke anniversary DVD set for her guest episode Sins of the Father in 1957. She was so very friendly and talkative. She got upset with herself when she couldn't remember Gage Clark's name (Dobie), but she recalled it by the end of the session.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
