I was 11 when this came on Showtime. When I saw it, sneaking into the TV room late at night, keeping the volume low, hoping to see boobies, I was shocked by the violence, particularly the senselessness of it. I wish I'd had parental guidance to help me sort through the emotional impact of this film. I like to think I "turned out okay" except now I am afraid of Marilyn Monroe impersonators.
