DRESSED TO KILL
July 2, 2017  | By David Bianculli

MGM HD, 8:15 p.m. ET

 

There are a couple of brazenly concocted and photographed set pieces in this 1980 Brian De Palma thriller, which stars Michael Caine as a psychiatrist, and Keith Gordon and Nancy Allen as young people trying to identify and trap a murderer who targets attractive women. One is when Angie Dickinson, in a lengthy tracking shot through an art gallery, is stalked by the killer. The other is when Allen, a call girl, offers herself up as bait to distract Caine, whose patient she suspects of being the murderer. Oh, and watch, too, for Dennis Franz, who plays a gruff cop here long before playing a series of them on Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue.
