THE BOSTON STRANGLER
May 3, 2012  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 10:30 p.m. ET

 

Another true-crime thriller, this one, from 1968, stars Tony Curtis as Albert DeSalvo. Thought to be extremely gruesome at the time, it now seems almost quaint – and is better as a police procedural, really, than a character study. Think of it as an expanded episode of Law & Order: The Previous Generation.
