TV review - "Playhouse 90 - Portrait of a Murderer" (1958) ***

 Tab Hunter was doing excellent work on TV in the 50s while his films were mostly bland. He's very emphathetic and engaging as real killed Donald Bashor. This uses clips of the real guy including a taped interview which is creepy but effective. (Tab played another real dude who apeared in a show in Fear Strikes Out). 

Arthur Penn directs very well. Geraldine Page is excellent as Hunter's fiance.
