A bold, semidocumentary treatment of a difficult subject: The serial killing of 13 women that held the city of Boston in the grips of panic from 1962 to 1964. Tony Curtis took a huge risk when he agreed to play Albert DeSalvo, the so-called Boston Strangler, but it paid off. It's one of his most powerful performances. Henry Fonda costars as the criminologist determined to take DeSalvo down. Read the complete review for The Boston Strangler
