In director/writer Curtis Hansons 1987 chiller The Bedroom Window, architect Steve Guttenberg takes pity on Isabelle Huppert, the apparently put-upon wife of his brutish boss Paul Shenar. Guttenberg commences an affair with Huppert and during a break between seductions, Huppert hears a woman screaming from outside her bedroom window. She looks down to see a mysterious man strangling helpless victim Elizabeth McGovern. By the time Guttenberg comes to the window, he can see only a crowd of spectators. The next day, Guttenberg learns that another girl has been attacked and murdered, and begins to deduce that the killer may be the same person who assaulted McGovern. He wants to go to the police, but Huppert refuses to get involved. Or is she already involved? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
