I don't mind the similarities to Psycho actually. It seemed and felt different to me. |
From what I've read, the only real Angie is when she gets up from the bed after her tryst, the shower was a PENTHOUSE model and if You look closely in the long shots of the shower door, You can see it's not Angie. She had shown all in BIG BAD MAMA, about 5-6 years before DTK, but maybe she didn't want to do it for DePalma. Have read she was annoyed at him for "Spilling the Beans" as it were.
JACKSON COUNTY JAIL (1976). After problems at her Hollywood job and catching her Tom catting husband (Howard Hesseman
!), Yvette Mimiuex decides to start fresh in New York City. Sadly, instead of flying, she decides to drive cross country and once she gets into a Southern state (naturally), is when the trouble starts.
Yvette is pretty good here, especially in the pivotal jail scene where she really is fighting back and some nice appearances by Robert Carradine and Mary Woronov. Also, close to 20 years before winning an Oscar for pursuing THE FUGITIVE, Tommy Lee Jones is a fugitive! ***
