directed by Richard Fleischer
USA 1968

 Boston women are being terrorized by a serial killer who appears to be striking at random. Based on the true story, the docu-melodrama follows the detectives path through multiple leads. Only after that are we introduced to the Strangler (Tony Curtis). The story closely follows the perspective of the investigators who have very few leads, but doggedly follow them up.

Fleischer's split-screen imagery method is at first unique but appears for extended periods of the movie making it uncomfortable to settle into. The film coldly deals with its subject matter with visual clues and adept depth.  Divided into two parts (the chase and the questioning) anyone who has the remotest interest in police investigation will be intrigued. Curtis, Fonda and Kennedy were all excellent. out of

Comments:

This image can be quite hazy at times and is not up to standards for an anamorphic DVD. The split-screens particularly look unimpressive - not as how I remember seeing the film previously. Contrast is acceptable.  I think a lot of data may have been wasted on the two DUBS and extra audio track. I see no edge enhancement. The audio fluctuates a shade and the subtitles are inferior. This is not a state-of-the-art disc. Still the extra featurette is a nice touch. out of
