There’s a scene in Bob Clark’s “Black Christmas” where sorority house
bad-girl Barb (played by Margot Kidder), in the midst of talking to a
clueless cop about her missing housemate, slips in a subtle joke about
oral sex. The cop doesn’t get it, but Barb’s friends, and the audience,
do. It’s a moment that only Clark could convincingly pull off: a spot
of humor that alleviates, just for a minute, a sense of building
suspense. Clark was an inveterate collector of stories, and most of his
films are full of moments like this that seem culled from his and
others’ funny anecdotes and experiences, as if he’s whispering to the
audience, “Hey, did you ever hear the one about …?”
