{"product_id":"the-boston-strangler-dvd","title":"The Boston Strangler [DVD]","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe unexpected casting of Tony Curtis as the presumed Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, is only the first of the attractions of this hard-nosed suspense picture. Although the style of The Boston Strangler looks dated today, with its split-screen experiments and post-Bonnie and Clyde permissiveness, the film still has the clean, strong lines of a methodical policier. For the first hour, we don't focus on the Strangler, instead following the Beantown cops (led by Henry Fonda) as they track down leads; the best sequence is the near-accidental connection made between burglary suspect DeSalvo and the killings. Director Richard Fleischer had a forceful hand with true-crime material (Compulsion, 10 Rillington Place) and he takes an unblinking look into the then-taboo subject of sexual pathology. Curtis's physical transformation into a dumpy, dull-eyed brute is the best aspect of his performance; it's a role he lobbied hard for, but it did not lead to more challenging work. --Robert Horton\n\nProduct Description\n\nA schizophrenic plumber is responsible for strangling several boston women, but goes undetected until he is arrested for breaking and entering.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0002IQLB2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0002IQLB2.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tony Curtis|Henry Fonda|George Kennedy|Mike Kellin|Hurd Hatfield|Murray Hamilton|Jeff Corey|Sally Kellerman|William Marshall|George Voskovec|Leora Dana|Carolyn Conwell|Edward Anhalt|Gerold Frank|Richard Fleischer\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
