Dressed to Kill is a 1980 giallo-inspired thriller directed by Brian De Palma and starring Angie Dickinson as Kate, a lonely housewife who seeks validation from her therapist (Michael Caine). After a therapy session, Kate heads to the museum for a leisurely afternoon where she unexpectedly meets a mysterious man. Then, meets an even more mysterious woman. Dressed to Kill also follows a call girl (Nancy Allen) with a knack for the stock market and Kate’s precocious son (Keith Gordon) as they try to solve a dangerous mystery. Dressed to Kill delivers Brian De Palma’s regularly appreciated style with homages to Hitchcock in combination with the director’s take on the contemporary slashers of the time.
