What Anna Kendrick's Woman of the Hour got WRONG about the Rodney Alcala murders


Anna Kendrick's directorial debut Woman of the Hour premiered on Netflix last week. The show is about Rodney Alcala, The Dating Show contestant who was a sex offender and serial killer.

But in Woman Of The Hour, Kendrick changed the facts and opted to have her character come up with her own questions to the bachelors, which helped Alcala's intelligence stand out from the rest of his competitors. 'That was a great device Anna used to show how this was her character's opportunity to turn the tables on that sexist culture, even if in the end it does bring her closer to that dangerous place because it leads her to pick Rodney,' Tony Hale, who plays The Dating Game host Jim Lange, said per USA Today. 'I can understand why it might be surprising to people that this would be something I would choose to do as my first time being a director,' Kendrick said, noting that the film gave her the opportunity to tell the story from the women's perspective.
