What critics compared The Tomb of Ligeia to
It's no mistake that, in one shot, Sharpe seems to have taken fashion tips from Vincent Price in "The Tomb of Ligeia"; no mere coincidence that the heiress's family name is Cushing .
In fact, a moviehouse (playing Roger Corman's The Tomb of Ligeia, a tip of the hat to Scorsese's Boxcar Bertha producer) offers our heroes pointedly fleeting shelter from debt collectors at the climax of Mean Streets, as if to caution us against using film to hide from the world; when Keitel's Charlie leaves the theatre to call his girlfriend, Teresa (Amy Robinson, who manages to both overcome a late entrance and penetrate the boy's-club atmosphere), he's none-too-subtly standing next to a poster for Point Blank.
