Almost Midnights: Body Double

Melding influences from REAR WINDOW and VERTIGO with his own masterful style, Brian De Palma’s BODY DOUBLE follows a claustrophobic and cuckolded actor (Craig Wasson), who accepts a last minute house-sitting gig for a theater workshop acquaintance (Gregg Henry). He soon finds himself going from the frying pan into the fire after witnessing the murder of a beautiful neighbor. To make matters worse, he falls for sweet, dysfunctional porn star Holly Body (Melanie Griffith), who may have been tricked into doubling for the victim.
