I'm Only Happy When It Rains: Suspiria
If there's one thing director Dario Argento is good at, it's rain scenes so I guess it's no surprise that the two scenes I like best in his 70s horror flick Suspiria both involve rainstorms. One takes place at the beginning of the film when the protagonist (played by a young Jessica Harper) arrives. The other at the end when the Ms. Harper character flees to the accompaniment of the end credits.
Add to that a genuinely haunting score by Goblin and this film should have been a classic. Unfortunately, the stuff that happens between those two rain scenes isn't that great. In fact, between the so-so dubbing and the atrocious dialogue, the movie is often quite painful to watch.
But on the plus side, Jessica Harper does look cute with wet hair.
Whatever happened to her?
