Dressed to Kill (Brian De Palma, 1980) Transition

The moment of transition from Brian De Palma's classic thriller, “Dressed to Kill“. With Angie Dickinson and Nancy Allen. Robin Wood categorizes it as a “transition from one character to another as a center of interest... [t]he first female transgressor (Angie Dickinson) finds her reflection, even as she dies, in the second (Nancy Allen), as they stretch out hands to each other across the entrance to the elevator.“ (from “Hollywood from Vietnam to Reagan... and Beyond“) See also “Sisters“, and the mother of all transitions “Psycho“.
