Movie Review - After Hours

After Hours (1985)
directed by Martin Scorsese
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix

25 years after Peeping Tom, and 5 years before his death, Michael Powell apparently stalked the set of "After Hours" and talked Martie into what, in retrospect, everyone must have agreed was the best/only possible ending. Nightmares are confined to dreaming, in turn a part of sleep. It's hard to sleep well in the big city, but however bad it gets, you can always count on daybreak and hope for a sense of humor.
