Sisters (1973)

“De Palma is known for his wit, and it's the most enjoyable aspect of Sisters (the least enjoyable quality of the movie is the extended violence). The humor is generally puerile, but it's funny. ” –

“Here [Spielberg] remains aware of his role as a popular interpreter, a dramatizer, and uses his resources as a filmmaker to convert a series of historic events into a gripping spy adventure, only to turn the genre on itself.” –
