Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles After an unfaithful fiancé moves out, a young New Yorker (Bridget Fonda) advertises for a roommate to help with expenses. She gets more than she bargained for when the "perfect roommate" (Jennifer Jason Leigh) moves in and develops a dangerous obsession with her, taking over her clothes, her boyfriend, and her identity, in this
tense psychological drama from Barbet Schroeder.
Traumatized by the discovery that her live-in fiancé has cheated on her with his ex-wife, Allison Jones (Bridget Fonda) decides to find a roommate to share her apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. After interviewing candidates, beautiful, sophisticated career woman Allison settles on Hedra Carlson (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a shy, mousy woman who has a hopeless fashion sense, and seemingly, a heart of gold. At first she's an ideal roommate, asking Allison for advice and attempting to emulate her cosmopolitan style. But Hedy's adulation grows more and more disturbing as Allison realizes that her new roommate has a dark side. Barbet Schroeder (BARFLY, REVERSAL OF FORTUNE) directed this taut psychological thriller. Jason Leigh is mesmerizing as the disturbed Hedy; Fonda is well cast as the unwitting victim of another's psychosis.
Theatrical release: August 1992.
Filmed in New York City.
Allison's apartment building is the Ansonia, almost 100 years old and located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

-- Peter Rainer, Los Angeles Times "...[Schroeder] has a mordant humor that pushes the material over the top....Both Fonda and Leigh pull out all the stops in their performances..."

THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE superbly achieves what few other movies do: a successful blend of thrills, style, comedy, drama, suspense and action. It is the precursor for many thrillers of the 1990s, from indie hits like Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS, and more popular, Hollywood vehicles like SPEED.
