Dressed To Kill
I actually saw this at the time as a teenager sneaking in to a local cinema. I've since seen it on the t.v. and my view is that as a thriller it hasn't aged well, very much a product of its time. Some thrillers do age well, e.g. some of Hitchcock's works, Dressed to Kill isn't one. The dialogue appears contrived and the acting isn't strong, characters are not well formed or believable. A shame really. I am prepared however to accept that looking at it through older eyes make me more likely to see the short comings.
