The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Dressed To Kill starting at 8 p.m. Here's the Eastman House calendar's description: "shortly after visiting her shrink (Michael Caine), a frustrated housewife (the very sexy Angie Dickinson) impulsively sleeps with a stranger, and is soon after brutally murdered. A prostitute (director DePalma's then-wife Nancy Allen) who witnesses the crime faces her own peril when she teams up with the victim's son (director-to-be Keith Gordon) to trap the killer. DePalma's riff on Hitchcock has, in the 30 years since its release, become a classic in its own right."
