A masterpiece of editing, sound design and photography, many have called it the finest scene ever put to celluloid, and it's tough to argue that. One of the most amazing things about it is that anyone who sees it, especially for the first time, will swear they saw way more skin and blood than they actually did--they may even claim to have seen the knife penetrate Marion's flesh, which we never do.

He was also good as the father in Hellraiser, and believe it or not, did a decent job in the starring role of a Liberace TV biopic in the late 1980s.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816394122569768359.post-49744593804835792412010-07-13T12:44:23.151-07:002010-07-13T12:44:23.151-07:00Fantastic examination of this film and a marvelous...Fantastic examination of this film and a marvelous selection for this series, B-sol. Growing up, I remember my aunts talking about this movie (after they saw it) among themselves and my mother. Everyone of them was shaken by that shower scene. You show this to a jaded teen of today, and if they appreciate great film, this will grab them. Guaranteed. I feel for Tony Perkins, though. He was robbed of an Oscar nomination, but was typecast for years afterward (like Andrew Robinson was for his <i>Scorpio Killer</i> role in DIRTY HARRY, but worst). Thanks for this.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
