Talk:Body Double

message: I watched the trailer for the movie, and was completely confused. When I read the plot summery, I was confused beyond all recognition. Could someone please give more than a one-paragraph description?
Jake is a B-movie actor who's claustrophobic. He finds out his girlfriend is cheating on him, but since it is her house, he is forced to leave, his other actor friend gives him an offer to house-sit his place while he goes and shoots a movie. He also shows Jake the "hidden secret" of the house, if he looks through a telescope through the window, he sees a girl later named Gloria, nightly undress and does a strip-tease and other provactive things. He becomes obsessed with her and tries to talk to her. One night, when he looks through the telescope, he realizes he is witnessing a murder of Gloria...basic plot w/o spoilers:)
It's essentially a remake of Vertigo.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.140.223.12 (talk) 03:26, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Above it is suggested that this film is “a remake of Vertigo”. Isn’t there also a strong element of “Rear Window” in the voyeur impotently witnessing a murder and of "Psycho" in the disguised murderer? --Hors-la-loi (talk) 22:35, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: (Plagiarism is a term of art from law rather than a reasonably close synonym of "ripoff", and is not applicable to either a tribute (the case here) or remakes.)    In any case, a colleague's edit has greatly improved the lead since this talk section was created, and pointing that out will probably close this section's discussion... unless someone else thinks portraying a crucial action, and only later revealing the character involved is a mid-20th-century invention.--Jerzy•t 14:27 & 14:34, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I am removing the unsourced co-director credit for Bernard Rose (segment Relax). There's no record here or elsewhere that Rose directed any part of Body Double. He did direct the original music video for Relax but this isn't used anywhere in the movie. Pearce.duncan (talk) 05:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
