...public bath: the wife cringes in embarrassment as a real native not only edges closer to make conversation but threatens to stand up to welcome the outlanders. The California Avocado Commission promotes the nutritional value of its green "love food" with the help of aging Sex Symbol Angie Dickinson, 49, who in December will sprawl across two pages of recipes in some 18 national magazines. The copy asks: "Would this body lie to you?" Ads for B.V.D.s, now made by Union Underwear Co. in Bowling Green, Ky., are heavy on beefcake: one has a cowboy happily shaving...
SEEKING DIVORCE. Angle Dickinson, 49, star of TV (Police Woman) and movies (Dressed to Kill); and Burt Bacharach, 51, composer (Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, What the World Needs Now); after 15 years of marriage and four years of separation, one child, a daughter, Nikki, 14, whose custody Dickinson is requesting; in Los Angeles...

Dressed to Kill is the most explicit of these homages: that shower (in a Long Island home instead of in the Bates Motel), those blonds (Angie Dickinson and Nancy Allen instead of Janet Leigh and Vera Miles), that transvestite killer (Mr. X instead of Anthony Perkins), plus a prowl through a museum, lifted from Vertigo, and a sound-effects trick from The 39 Steps. But De Palma has done it before, and, in Sisters and Carrie...
...characters in Dressed to Kill are not candidates for compassion or figures of raunchy fun. They are animated mannequins-the wandering housewife (Dickinson), the loving son (Keith Gordon), the harried hooker (Allen), the patient psychiatrist (Michael Caine)-whose only function is to attack or be attacked, to play villain or victim. The plot has so many coincidences and contradictions that the moviegoer is left with only one option: to savor Dressed to Kill as an exercise in directorial style...
