  Body Double - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Body Double is a 1984 film by directed Brian De Palma.
Body Double is heavily referenced in Bret Easton Ellis' novel, American Psycho.
The title is supposedly a reference to the use of a body double for Angie Dickinson's nude scenes in De Palma's 1980 film, Dressed To Kill.

 Body Double DVD Review - MovieWeb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Jake is also fired from the vampire movie, and with all the extra time on his hands, begins to follow the woman around (her character’s name is Gloria Revelle, and she’s played by Deborah Shelton).
There’s an lengthy chase scene in the middle of the movie, beginning in a mall, and continuing through beach condos, a sandy beach scattered with striped cloth tents, over a pier, and down a tunnel, ending in a 360-degree pan around two of the characters that is supremely controlled.
“Body Double” was the first film of eight collaborations with D.P. Stephen Burum, and together they drench L.A. in colors even brighter than those in “Scarface”, with lots of warm yellow sunlight, and a charming, deliberate fakeness in the movie’s several rear-projected scenes.

I watched Body Double right after it was released on VHS for the very first time, and I remember being pleased by this movie.
As with most films by this director, the movie is an obvious homage to the cinema of Hitchcock.
The end result is a film that has a few great individual sequences, but overall, the movie fails to offer something besides the intended tribute.

He's never matched Hitchcock's best, but he often makes chilling suspense films with the same sort of wry, fl comic take on the characters.
Body Double is a poor attempt at it, an uneven, slipshod thriller that alternates between spooky suspense and sleazy self-indulgence.
One good sequence so Hitchcockian it's borderline plagiarism has the protagonist chasing after a mysterious woman he's infatuated with.
