Trivia
Angie Dickinson said the scene where her character gets seduced in the back of a taxicab was filmed on-location in New York City, where several gawkers observed the scene and shouted, "Right on, Police Woman!" (referring to her previous television role as the title character on Police Woman (1974)).

Goofs
(at around 55 mins) Peter Miller looks in the visor of his Super 8 camera. The format of the visor is 'Cinemascope', which never has been really possible with S8. Later, when the resulting movie is seen, it is in the standard 4/3 format.

Quotes
Liz Blake: Do you want to fuck me?
Dr. Robert Elliott: Oh, yes.
Liz Blake: Well, why don't you?
Dr. Robert Elliott: Because I'm a doctor and...
Liz Blake: Fucked a lot of doctors.
Dr. Robert Elliott: ...and I'm married.
Liz Blake: Fucked a lot of them, too.

One of Brian De Palma's best mysterious pictures

I believe it was one of the best works of Mr De Palma. I like the story it was wonderful & I it took me almost after 75 min of watching movie to take guess who could be the mysterious killer and when I find out I got quiet excited although 10 minutes later everybody knew who's the killer. but all in all I enjoyed that and I could call it one of the best Mystery, Thriller movies I have ever seen of curse with breath taking ending. I should say the acting of Michael Caine & Nancy Allen were perfect.
