[QUOTE="Toni, post: 242028, member: 82"] [CENTER][/CENTER] Last night I watched "Eyes of Laura Mars"... and enjoyed it so much! I had read a lot about it even here, but I thought it would be just a 70s exploitation film. I was pleasantly surprised to see a shameless crime drama about the fashion world, something that the "Models Inc." creators should have checked out before writing their scripts. Most characters are intriguing and creepy, Faye has never been more restrained but expressive, and it might have been the kind of OTT horror movie Brian de Palma was making at the time. Of course I re-wrote the script in my mind and made out the reason to Faye´s visions (which is never really revealed!): the ghost of Joan Crawford (who had played a "Night Gallery" episode about a blind woman few years earlier titled... "Eyes") had possessed her and was trying to stop the "Mommie Dearest" debacle, unsuccessfully. A very funny thing about the end: [SPOILER=]It ends exactly like the OR 10th season of "Dallas": with a shooting and a woman telling her name to the police on the phone. Of course, its staging is much more inventive and creative than Katzman´s for that episode![/SPOILER] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="1602792447205.png"]23301[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="1602792470725.png"]23302[/ATTACH] "If you agree to play me in that awful project, I will curse you and your career will end!"
