One of those movies I fell asleep during in my high school film studies class. Don't blame me, blame the fact that it started at 8 am and I rarely went to bed before 4.

Here are the things of particular interest to me (oh I just love lists):

• wet/dry as a stand in for dark/light in a film shot in color (though some of that dark/light is still there)
• public municipalities conspiracy as thrilling fodder for detective drama
• how Faye Dunaway is gorgeous, and then strangely grotesque within moments of each other (teeth, bare skin, forehead)
• Polanski's interest in (fetish for?) rotting food--see Repulsion
• what it means to lose exactly one shoe
• Jack Nicholson's disarming hotness
• John Huston, in general
