The Boston Strangler
Richard Fleischer, director of 1959’s Compulsion, revisits the true-crime genre with 1968’s The Boston Strangler. The sordid nature of the material would make it a natural for the 42nd Street audience but the presence of Henry Fonda as a tenacious police detective and Tony Curtis as the infamous killer made sure the film was a hit in more respectable theaters.
