Titus & John Presnall discuss Brian De Palma's Body double, a movie we're both fascinated with, but which is obviously artful & obviously immoral. It's both vulgar & sophisticated. This combination hints at De Palma's touch of genius. He shows what sex & violence are in their interest to audiences, directors, & society.

This is also De Palma's assertion of taking up the mantle from Hitchcock. Why is he Hitchcock's true heir? Because he knows horror is a moralistic genre.
