...hoped that the crowds which gathered to watch the filming of The Boston Strangler don't bother to go down and see the finished product. They could get just about the same thing--leering headlines and all--by buying a copy of the National Enquirer at their neighborhood newstand...

But always the film turns back to the violence-on the road and off it-that everyone begins to take as a matter of course.

Sometimes he took off from his right foot, sometimes from his left. He often did not bother to count his strides on the approach. In the qualification trials, he fouled on his first two jumps and barely made it to the finals on his last...
