Remember My Name (1978)



Just released from prison, a young woman arrives in town to "start a new life", but soon begins stalking a married construction worker for no apparent reason, turning his life inside out and eventually terrorizing him and his wife.

From memory:  Left-field, idiosyncratic, but effective psychological thriller with Chaplin presenting a creepier performance than Perkins.

Halliwell*: "Basically reminiscent of a Barbara Stanwyck vehicle of the forties, this interesting film is finally too concerned to strike on all levels, including satire, social awareness and fashionable pessimism."

Maltin***: "Dreamlike film presents fragmented story...Moody, provocative film definitely not for all tastes..."
