Melanie Griffith plays the adult entertainer Holly who may have something of a connection with the murder but certainly did have a nice body on her and definitely know how to move her hips while dancing around seductively. The background soundtrack provided by Pino Donaggio is a easy listen to and manages to change from a fast to a slow tempo, did find funny when Frankie Goes To Hollywood turned up singing Relax. First time watching this and won't be the last. Remember being a voyeur can get you into a different kind of trouble.

The Indicator Blu-ray is well worth picking up. Especially now it's a tenner everywhere or included in their on-site 5 for £40 offer.
