#HappyBirthday to Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, a.k.a. #MichaelCaine, the Oscar / BAFTA-winning English actor, born in London on this day. He has over 170 screen credits across eight decades and played, among others, Alfred Pennyworth, Fagin, Scrooge, "Sherlock Holmes" and Harry Palmer. Iconic as gangsters in #GetCarter ('71) and Neil Jordan's #MonaLisa ('86), but also memorable as the fracturing male leads of Brian De Palma's #DressedToKill ('80) and Oliver Stone's underrated #TheHand ('81). #OTD

I’m working my way through the #EvolutionOfHorror #horror #podcast.
As I listen to each episode, I’m going to watch the movie(s) being discussed that I’ve not yet seen.
I’m on Slashers Pt 6 which discusses #BrianDePalma’s #DressedToKill (1980). I’d love opinions. Please mark anything with spoilers that may contain them.
