At 4 minutes 10 seconds, she starts to leave the room where she had been sitting with the man. Then she turns around to look for him. Notice the painting on the wall beside her. A female frontal nude.This is not an accident. The painting has been chosen specifically to be in that spot. It connects us subliminally with sexuality whether we consciously notice it or not. The music is perfectly matched to the mood of the scene! And not a word of dialogue between the two of them! Superb.

DRESSED TO OFF-KILTER: The museum sequence in "Dressed to Kill" is one of my very favorite in all of filmdom! Notice that, as Angie Dickinson first sit and stares and later walks around the museum, we see first her face, then the director cuts to what she is seeing as she moves. These are known as point-of-view shots, and they can have the unsettling effect of drawing us into a world we have no control of. That's the thrill - to let yourself go with the tide of the storyteller!

this scene should be studied in film schools everywhere!!!!

It's more than a scene, it's a part of the movie!

One of my all time favorite movies!!!!! What a pearl!!!!!

Angie looks great, a timeless piece

Very much inspired by Vertigo with this scene.

So I guess if anyone wants to get Laid go visit your local 🖌️🎨🖼️ Museum 😊

"Pick up turkey!" You sure did! One of the great sequences in all of filmdom! And yes, the killer is on the loose... Vaunted music (when it finally appears) is by Pino Donaggio.

As far as film making-It doesn't get any better than this. Incredible directing-incredible acting.

@BetteDavisMimic I'd definitely say more of an homage because De Palma always mentions his undying appreciation for Hitchcock whenever he's interviewed about certain aspects of his movies. But in the end, it doesn't matter since this remains the highpoint in his career.

Angie Dickinson should have gotten a Best Supporting Actress nomination for this!

She's extraordinary👏👏👏

De Palma clearly channeling Hitchcock here, and very well.

She's so sweet and genuine. In an interview she said Frank Sinatra was the love of her life.

Masterful piece, my favourite single scene in all movies (and I'm a huge movie buff going back to the silents. Angie Dickinson and Ken Baker are uncannily, incomparably cast. I have the whole movie on an old vhs, but I wish this scene could have included the rest of the taxi sex, because I wanted somebody to see it. I never watch but this first part--the Nancy Allen long section, like the Vera Miles section of 'Psycho', are not interesting in themselves, but they do make the incredible openings (I think this is better than even the Marion Crane Shower Scene though) seem like masterpiece little movies in themselves--and they are.

A masterpiece with great actors!

Sexy Angie/Kate in one of the best cinematic scenes ever

Never figure out just how did the killer knew where to go and seem to know she was coming back for her wedding ring.

@Julio Exactly. Another taxi with the killer inside followed the one with Angie Dickinson and the man inside.

Angie is the Greatest.

Even tho this movie pays homage to Hitchcock, it was so way ahead of its time in depicting a trans. Even today it's not discussed in films much and only a handful of films have even depicted a trans in leading role. Incredible when you realize over 40 years have passed since this movie came out and very little has changed.

An Homage To Mr. Hitchcock The interior shots are from the Philadelphia Art Museum. DePalma was not allowed to film interiors of The Museum Of Modern Art. The exteriors of The MO-MA we're filmed without permission Hitchcock was not allowed to Film the inside of the United Nations building Exterior filming of The U.N was filmed from across the street in a carpet cleaning Van

Ahead? You mean behind, surely? Even at the time it was criticized for being transphobic, and especially today, by depicting a trans character as a psychotic murderer.

@@stefjevtic yes, go watch the movie "Cruising" (also released in 1980) if you want to see a pretty realistic depiction of it.

That guy is truly creepy

This scene disappointed the movie for me since I could tell the sunglasses man looked like michael caine so I spent the whole movie assuming it was him and i ended up being right shame since this one was really good up until the end
