Lady Beware (1987)
Let's talk about a great movie that I don't think many people are aware of. The recipe for it is really quite simple: Take a heaping spoonful of Fatal Attraction (which was actually released a month LATER), a few dollops of The Collector , sprinkles of Mannequin and wrap it up in a nice, cozy layer of " Skinemax ". Bake at a million degrees, and you have: Lady Beware . I won't bore you with a synopsis. You can always look that up yourself....and, actually, the less you know about it, the better. Lady Beware is a lot of fun and Diane Lane really gets into her role. She's not always great, and at times, she's pretty terrible (her smoking is TOO obvious) but she has some great freak-out moments (the mirror scene) and she reaches a point of defiance that is really quite impressive - why aren't more drag queens inspired by this film? Visually, everything is perfect - from the atmospheric Pittsburgh locations to the memorable production...
