t It III - I 1 1 it StA
Lloyd St., Carrboro
By HARVEY ELLIOTT
DTH Reviewer
THK BOSTON STRANGLER. With
Henry Fonda. Tony Curtis, George
Kennedy. Screenplay by Edward
Anhalt, based on the book by
Gerold Frank. Directed by Richard
Fleischer. A 20th Century Fox
Release, at the Varsity.
A director's preoccupation
with freaks has never made for
a very good movie.
Consequently, when
Richard Fleischer's film of The
Boston Strangler gets off the
track with snickering visits to
gay bars, handbag and foot
fetishists and lesbian
landladies, the film also goes
awry.
These moments seem
insincere, so comic and so
wrong in this disturbing
picture, for the rest of the
movie is so excellently
executed.
During the first half of the
film, Fleischer directs with an
imaginative hand. He totally
involves the viewer in eleven
brutal slayings through an
interesting effect: no screen
violence.
We never see
an
old lady
strangled, a
young woman
raped or flesh slashed with
shiny knife.
The audience is allowed to
witness only the events leading
up to the crime. With a sense
of helplessness, we see the
unsuspecting woman minutes
before she is killed. It's like a
Greek tragedy, and there's
nothing we can say or do to
help the victim.
Interesting, also, is
Fleischer's use of the
ultra-modern multiple-screen
effects, introduced at
Montreal's Expo 67 and
subsequently utilized with a
varying degree of
effectiveness in The Thomas
Crown Affair and Wild in the
Streets.
This technique is employed,

Or ad Seminar
DON CAUSEY
A new type of seminar has
appeared at the University this
semester under the name of
SubjectiveObjective. It is an
interdisciplinary seminar
embracing four different fields
of study: English, Philosophy,
Religion, and Psychology.
The interdisciplinary
seminar is not a new
educational development, but.
it is new to UNC.
"The idea of the seminar,"
Dr. Weldon Thornton of the
English dept. said," grew out
of conversations that Dr.
Adams and I had last year in
Lenoir Hall. The more issues
we discussed the more we saw
how profitable it would be if
graduate students were able to
see how certain problems are,
approached in other fields."
The biggest obstacle they
encountered once the idea
took shape was the mechanics,
of working it into the
curriculum. Instead of
proposing a new course, which
might have taken a year, it was
decided to let the seminar take
the place of directed reading
courses in the various
departments. As a result, the
11 students who are taking the
course are taking it under four
different course numbers in
four different departments.
All 11 students and four
faculty members meet once a
week for a 2V2 hour session.
The 15 class meetings are
929-5691
sequences), but as a means of
speeding-up the action or,
more importantly, conveying a
mood of simultaneous disaster
multiplying the horror and
tnplmg the dimension of time.
The Strangler becomes a
self-reproducing danger, whose
perverted slayings increase
geometrically while the failures
of the police are reported in
scene by scene arithmetic
progression.
A DTH Review
This effect may be the
filmmaker's most effective tool
in shaping an all-consuming
sense of immediacy.
The inventive director again
scores in the final scenes of the
picture, detailing Albert De
Salvo's confession and
regression into a multiple
personality.
Henry Fonda, as the police
investigator, induces this
withdrawal in De Salvo (Tony
Curtis), and the scene develops
into a mixture of flashback and
conscience, of mind and
memory.
Curtis remembers and
imagines, figures appear in
screen silhouettes, Fonda pops
up in misplaced memory
patterns, present voices mix
with past images.
The final sequence is
fascinating to watch, because it
recalls the skill with which the
first half of the film was
assembled,, image by image.
What happened in the
middle?
Nothing catastrophic
nothing' bad enough to make
viewers walk out or turn
against the film. It just
becomes boring because it
becomes pedestrian.
The investigation of four or
five perverts is done with a
condescending, laugh-at-him
touch, so alien to the rest of
the film's semi-documentary
approach.
The discussion and scene in
divided into one meeting
devoted to a general
introduction, three meetings
conducted by each of the
professors and then two class
meetings after Christmas
devoted to summary and
conclusion.
The seminar is a graded
course. Each student is
required to submit a paper to
the professor in his
department. "Hopefully," Dr.
Thornton said, "the paper will
be eclectic, that is chosen from
two or more of the fields of
study represented."
"The principle aim of the
course," Dr. Thornton
continued, "is, to bring
different disciplines together to
focus on a particular problem,
in this case the Subjective
Objective dichotomy."
In reply to the question of
what SubjectiveObjective
dichotomy means, Dr.
Thornton gave a number of
instances. "Individualism
versus social responsibility is
one facet of the problem, an
important one. Just look
around you every day.
Participatory democracy, m
fact the New Left, is partly an
outgrowth of subjectivism.
Subjectivism carried to its
extreme limits would be
insanity, I guess, but that's Dr.
McCurdy's field so I'll leave
that to him."
At present there are no
plans to repeat the course, but
Dr. Thornton said he is anxious

the homosexual bar is as
stereotyped and sissy-silly as in
The Detective or a half dozen
other films of recent months.
The viewer is distracted
from the emotional and
dramatic impact of the
manhunt, and these "relief"
scenes destroy whatever
suspenseful pitch has already
been established.
The film remains slow
throughout preliminary
interrogation of De Salvo, a
situation which could have
been remedied by a little of the
earlier inventiveness Fleischer
showed in compressing the
eleven murders.
The movie begins to rise
again when the emphasis turns
to Tony Curtis. Curtis has
finally fulfilled his acting
potential, a potential many
people probably never knew
about.
After being imbedded for
almost ten years in dozens of
happy-go-lucky bachelor
roles the swinging playboy
with those funny Jewish
mannerisms he tackles this
serious part with skill and deep
involvement.
We forget Curtis and know
De Salvo. Well, not really
know. The film skirts over the
murderer's multiple-personality
problems, in favor of the
policeman's subjective view of
"the Strangler we can't
understand."
Though Fonda succeeds in
exposing "the other self to De
Salvo, the murderer
immediately retreats into an
inner personality, where the
film leaves him. As we leave
the theatre, Fonda tries to
reach De Salvo, and a haunting
"Albert Albert" continues
after the screen images fade
away.
Something is missing
between the murders and the
solution, and it's evident that
