Woman Of The Hour - 2023 - 7/10

“Alrighty now! After a few questions Miss Sheryl, you’ll choose your date. We won’t tell you that one of our contestants just happens to be serial killer Rodney Alcala. Our bad, oops.”

The meat of this Dating Game thriller is Rodney, photographer, charmer, ladies man.
One by one, females get taken by the soft-spoken praise. Strokes.
Chronology bounces a little, but there are always dates posted.
Sheryl’s story is more fictionalized, and pushes a misogyny message.
97% of men in this are lechers, liars, enablers.
Film entertaining, despite the preachiness.

In the mid 70’s, I drove to Los Angeles and enrolled at Cal State. I was on my own, poor and needed income. The student jobs center had various listings. Including contestant on “The Dating Game”. I couldn’t believe it!
I declined, although I gather plenty of theatre majors signed up. (Northridge was a TV feeder school.)
Instead, my first job was at a liquor store. It wasn’t “The Dating Game”, but it was memorable.
