92YTribeca continues thrilling audiences on Tuesdays, this time with Brian DePalma's
equally campy and erotic urbanized meditation on Psycho, Dressed to Kill. The
film stars Angie Dickinson as a bored housewife whose unfortunate meeting with a razor-wielding and cross dressing killer in an elevator introduces a mystery that entangles her psychologist (Michael Caine), wiz kid son (Keith Gordon) and a street-wise prostitute (DePalma regular Nancy Allen). New York City also plays a prominent role as the setting, from a game of cat and mouse in the Met to a chic and thrilling chase scene on the subway. [Flavorpill]
