This is another Hitchcock/Psycho rip-off/tribute from director Brian de Palma. In my eyes, it is a classic.
Michael Caine plays a shrink who treats many disturbed patients. One leaves a message for him saying he is a woman trapped in a man's body. Another is a nymphomaniac(Angie Dickinson).
One of the most successful scenes is when she is playing 'silent' games with a total stranger in a museum. This scene lasts about 10 minutes. Not a work is spoken in this scene. This scene just kept me glued to the screen. There were a couple of other scenes that almost made me jump out of my skin. This film is a must see.
