Last Embrace (1979)
6/10
A moment of reverence, please: fifty years ago, this was the very place I lost my cherry.

The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, The Manchurian Candidate, Rachel Getting Married; all films by Jonathan Demme. While this film is not in the category of those listed, it shows the promise of a great director.

Roy Scheider, who won Oscars for All That Jazz and The French Connection, and who is probably best know for his role as the sheriff in Jaws, plays a man who has become a target after his wife's murder. He certainly gives action lovers a film that will please.

So, why is a Jewish fanatic running after Harry (Scheider)? And, why is a graduate student (Janet Margolin) living in his apartment when he returns home? Finally, is this a true homage to Hitchcock?
