Tony It's the sixties, you make a film with a Fonda in it, does anyone get where I'm going with this - yes, exit stage left. You've psychics, hypnotism and psycho analysis thrown in to this hippie idea of love would have saved him, it wasn't his fault. Fact - he was a sick, deranged animal that preyed on defenceless women. There's only one humane answer for any seriously sick animal, if there is a God it's His call regarding hope of redemption, or if he just screwed up with that one.

richieandsam THE BOSTON STRANGLER.What a great film.I only watched this movie because it is based on a true story about a serial killer in America. I am fascinated with serial killers anyway, i am interested in what makes them kill, what makes them not care about human life.This film was really well made. The effects were not great... when Tony Curtis was driving his car, you could see so easily that he was not actually driving the car... but then this film was made in 1968... they didn't have the special effects that we have now.The story was good... it is about Albert DeSalvo. He was convicted of rape and sentenced to life imprisonment. He also confessed to the murder of 13 women...Tony Curtis did a fantastic job playing DeSalvo. He was believable. The movie also starred Henry Fonda and George Kennedy who also did a great job.The film had some really nice shots in it... a lot of the film was split screen with 2 or more pictures on the screen playing at the same time. It was really well done, but I did find that if there were about 4 or more pictures at once, it was difficult to see everything that was happening.Obviously, this is a movie based on a true story... so I don;t know hoe much of it is true and how much is made up... but it was a very entertaining movie and really well made.I will give this film 8 out of 10.I really liked it, and would watch it again.To read more of my reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

Herag Halli Apparently, Desalvo, told people in the Bridgewater Asylum, that he faked the hallucinations, since he knew, if he was declared insane he would not be convicted and avoid prison. He had confessed to his attorney F. Lee Bailey, that he had murdered twelve women and he could not remember the name of the 13th victim, except to say that she had died of heart attack in his arms. There was also a scheme concocted by himself, that his family lawyer would collect the reward money and give the bulk of the money to Desalvo's wife and children, since he knew he would never get out of jail facing multiple rape charges. The movie is based on the book which is complex, since there were four other suspects, who were either mentally ill, lying and or evidence circumstantial. The only surviving victim and witnesses could not identify Desalvo, as the strangler and the positive identify was an inmate at the same asylum, by the name of George Nasser, and he was the only one who fit the profile of the strangler as determined by a panel of experts, but he was never charged. As far as the acting, Tony Curtis's acting was over rated. Any actor could have done his role. Someone like Robert Blake would have been the perfect choice. The fact is, he solicited for that role, by gaining weight and perfecting his accent. The split scenes take away lot of the suspense and the superimposed scenes with Fonda and Curtis lack depth. This is a good movie-a safe seven rating.

Geeky Randy Despite being a one of a kind thriller, there are plenty of flaws that hold back Fleischer's 1968 film about the infamous Boston Strangler. Interesting filming concept, but lends itself to too many continuity errors and audio difficulties. Structurally very unconventional that simply doesn't work--there are fundamentals for a reason. Seems like two different films going on at once, and both lead characters are introduced so late that they have to rush to the audience's emotions. For the first half-hour, we're not even sure who we're rooting for. The film brings attention to social commentary that's applicable even today, but the fact that a lot of what's portrayed in the film didn't actually happen kind of contradicts its own statement. Entertaining, but drags on way too long with terribly dated and redundant interrogation scenes.**½ (out of four)
