1973: Sisters

A man and a model meet and take a liking to each other, but she does not tell him that she has an ex-husband that looks like John Waters' mean brother and a - formerly siamese - twin. Soon a reporter and a detective are investigating a case. - This is one fine screenplay by Brian De Palma and Louisa Rose, quite deliberately written in the Hitchcock mode, but the director De Palma's work, although by no means bad, is not of the same quality as is on display in the later, and equally Hitchcockesque, masterpiece Dressed to Kill. Certainly recommended, though. (7.5)
