FAMILY PLOT
March 4, 2017  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 10:15 p.m. ET

 

This 1976 movie was director Alfred Hitchcock’s final film – and his last presentation of a cinematic trademark: the sexy but icy blonde. In this case, though, the blonde was wearing a wig as part of a disguise: Under her fake tresses (which, like her sky-high heels, were worn to confuse witnesses to her crime), she was a brunette played by Karen Black. She’s pictured here in her femme fatale disguise – and on her trail, on this very funny suspense film, is a ditsy psychic played by this evening’s TCM-featured star, Barbara Harris.
