Grimly powerful account of the man who murdered 13 women in the Boston, Massachusetts area in the early 1960s, and the huge police effort to track him down. Shot in a semi-documentary style, the serious, unsensationalised film features a chilling performance from Tony Curtis as Albert DeSalvo, the quiet blue-collar worker who committed the grisly crimes.
