For more than two years, from 1962 to 1964, Boston women seemed to be at the mercy of a psychopathic killer. He began strangling and raping elderly women and then switched to younger women–a total of 13 victims–by the end of his reign of terror. Boston Police Department detective John S. Bottomly (Henry Fonda) directs the investigation, and it is not until one victim, Diane Cluny (Sally Kellerman), survives her attack and reports that she bit her attacker's hand that the clues fit together and lead to the capture of serial killer Albert DeSalvo (Tony Curtis). 1 User Review

can't believe there is another review of this movie posted just days before mine. This movie came to mind today because Linda Blair is on an episode of "Supernatural" and it made me remember this movie she made with Martin Sheen. I, too, saw it as a teenager and am amazed by how clear it still seems in my mind. It obviously made quite an impression for me to be able to remember it so well. I really loved this movie and thought Sheen & Blair did an excellent job with it. |
