BODY DOUBLE (1984)
Brian De Palma works a wicked variation on Hitchcockian elements from REAR WINDOW and VERTIGO (among others), when Hollywood hanger-on Jake Scully (Craig Wasson) witnesses by telescope the brutal murder of a gorgeous dancer/exhibitionist (Melanie Griffith) in the apartment across the way. As ever in Hollywood, appearances can be deceiving, and Jake soon discovers he’s the patsy in an even more complicated murder case involving players from both of L.A.'s major film industries: Hollywood and porn. DIR/SCR/PROD Brian De Palma; SCR Robert J. Avrech. U.S., 1984, color, 114 min. RATED R
