Dressed to Kill is a 1980 erotic crime thriller film written and directed by Brian De Palma and starring Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson, (in a Best Actress Saturn Award-winning performance), Nancy Allen (in a Golden Globe-nominated performance) and Keith Gordon. It centers on the murder of a housewife and an investigation involving a young prostitute who witnessed the murder, the victim's teenaged son and her psychiatrist.Brian De Palma originally wanted the Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann to play Kate Miller, but she declined because of the violence. The role then went on to Angie Dickinson. Sean Connery was offered the role of Robert Elliot and was enthusiastic about it, but declined on account of previously acquired commitments.
Two versions of the film exist in North America, an R rated version and an unrated version. The unrated version was around 30 secs longer and showed more genitalia in the shower scene (see below), more blood in the elevator scene, including a close-up shot of the killer slitting Kate's throat, and some sexier dialogue from Liz during the scene in Elliott's office. These scenes were trimmed when the MPAA originally gave the film an "X" rating.
Allen earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best New Star, but a Razzie nomination as well. Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, a fan of De Palma, was influenced to write True Romance because of this film, targeting Nancy Allen's performance as the inspiration for the film's leading woman.
