 In Bob Fosse s film about the murder of Playboy centerfold Dorothy Stratten (Mariel Hemingway), the main character is actually her sleazy husband Paul Snider (Eric Roberts), who discovered her, pushed her toward stardom, and worshiped her at the altar of the Playboy mystique. Snider wants people to "treat us that special way, the way they treat Stars!" and when Stratten tries to shake him off her coattails, he explodes. The film is an example of the very exploitation it was condemning, and that s what s so powerful about it. It puts us inside Snider s skin-glitter dreams.
