Boston Strangler, The (TCF 1968, Tony Curtis, Pamela McMyler)
The investigation of the famous murder case that haunted the citizens of Boston. Using an unusual split-screen technique, the film follows two detectives as they track the man who raped and killed 13 women in the early ’60s. Their explorations of the crimes take them on a frightening journey into the depths of a deranged mind. Curtis gives an intense performance as the psychopath.
Pamela McMyler, who plays Grace Lockwood in The Boston Strangler, plays the lead female role in Steven Spielberg’s 1968 theatrical short Amblin, the film that won both Spielberg and McMyler contracts with Universal Studios.
