There was no world where he would've been arrested walking out of that show. Police were well aware of who he was because he was a sex offender. They had interviewed him before he ever even went on the show. If they didn't arrest him then, why would they arrest him coming out of the show? They probably didn't have a case against him just yet, though I do believe he was a suspect in a murder case. The police also probably didn't take many of his victims seriously, which is as shameful as it is common, unfortunately. It took many, many victims and several murders for them to really go all in on him. But yeah, all of the stuff with the woman recognizing him from the audience and them going out after the show was all fictional. I HIGHLY doubt anyone working with the show even knew he was an ex con. It wasn't like it is now where you can just hop online and Google someone or run a background check.

That was the guy that Alcala said “I always get the girl” to. In an interview, bachelor #2(can’t remember his name) said Alcala got right up in face when he said it and he was really freaked out about the guy during filming.
Actually the serial killer is bar none the hottest one on the entire set which speaks to how low the bar was on this episode! Number 2 is only aiight. Judge lady looks like Joker from Batman!!!
And doesn't look like it, that's what's even scarier. He just comes across as a carefree, friendly guy. Anna Kendrick's movie portrayed him as sinister and intimidating on the dating show (not a criticism, I respect what she did with the artistic licence), but had I not known who I was watching here, I would suspect NOTHING.
Just saw Anna's movie. I think she did a fantastic job, not just for a directorial debut, which is amazing in it's own right, but at any level. Superb casting, insightful camerawork. Two thumbs up.

I hope Anna wins for the direction of this movie I NEVER felt so unsettled she COMPLETELY showed thru the FEAR in these women and also just an amazing movie she was great in it too i love her and loved her as the director excuse my bad english btw BRAVO Anna Kendrick !!!!
Totally normal at the time but as a woman who is older, I’m so glad that’s over. I can’t tell you how many of my parent’s dinner guests kissed me on the lips when I was a teenager.
The show was based on real events, but the part of the show where the lady actually goes out with Rodney Alcala is fiction. She found Rodney very creepy upon meeting him in person, with good cause, so she refused to actually go on a date with him.
I showed this video to two of my friends and asked them if they could tell which one was the serial killer. They never knew who he was but both of them picked rodney alcala. I asked them why him and they said "he is being way too charming, like i know that thats what your suppose to do on the dating game but the other two were more nervous and a little clumsy and no one is that straight forward unless they were looking for prey" Edit: the other two seem much nicer
Oh BS. You all would be swooning over him if you didn’t know his true story, just like that audience going crazy for him almost encouraging her that number 1 was the hottest
@Tonetare apparently Cheryl met him and felt off vibes from him instantly and didn't go out with him. So I assume we'd all feel those vibes as well. Whether or not we would go out with him or not is dependant on our upbringing and how society makes us feel when we say no. Sorry for the last sentence haha
They did say that even though the movie takes place in the 70s, they wanted the answers to be more modern because 70s charm would be considered creepy by today's standards
This is creepy in a cringy way but the movie was creepy in a different way. In the movie, her blatant hostility towards the contestants was so out of left field and not believable. It was over the top. I understand maybe challenging their chauvinistic responses to fit a modern time, but she was a outright bitch to them. Then after the game, her personality goes back to normal. It was a weird choice.
If you'd tell me one of them was a serial killer, and tell me to guess which one, I wouldn't know who to pick. Alcala was a very charming man, and that's what made him dangerous. He looks like just a normal human being.
NETFLIX WAS AN EPIC FAIL with reenacting this scene. They made it sound like he was smooth and smart with his responses. Rather the guy sounded like an absolute knucklehead.
Agreed! Woman of the Hour was awful. How could the movie NOT include the “dirty old man” question along with his answer?? As if the real story wasn’t CRAZY enough, they made up a bunch of stuff: No contestant warned Cheryl to be careful of her chosen bachelor, there was no witness in the audience who disrupted the taping and tried to alert the producers, and the biggest one: she did NOT meet with Alcala for drinks after the taping (narrowly escaping abduction).
yeah I think thats the main reason she didn't go out with him. I dont think it was a "hunch" like the Netflix movie makes it seem. She just wasn't attracted to him lol (good for her)
Woman of the hour is not about being accurate on depicting the life of a serial killer its more on the experiences women goes thru whenever they meet a man like him, be nice? end up dead, report him? didn't take her seriously, try to say the right words so not to trigger him? he'll still haunt you down... its women having to do everything just so they can be safe and alive
that's easy to say only because you're watching it. I don't see how anyone would have that kind of intuition hearing responses to dumb questions, behind a wall.
@@johnmarengo3988 She had the intuition upon meeting him. She stated that he was creepy when she saw his face. However, I personally thought his answers were creepy and would have never picked him. The banana, groaning and growling, nighttime etc.
The creepiest part is at the end when they meet! The other guys are goofy and awkward but still have their own unique personalities. He mimics everything she does, and doesn't go in for a hug but rather, grasps her hand like they're dancing, and kisses her without hugging. He's as stiff as a board, and shows emotional distance and a need for control. He then holds her lower back for the remainder of that time to assert dominance. She knew right away because it probably made her feel sick. I'm so glad she safely escaped his dirty banana!
Woman of the Hour was terrific and kept me clued to the television! Anna Kendrick's did a great job on focusing on the time and how straight men treated women and still do.
Thank you very much. I uploaded on my channel and credited your channel. I uploaded the "Alcala scenes only" 2yrs ago and I'm getting many comments asking for the full version
I just met Jed Mills less than a week ago. He is the guy in the middle who's gone on to be a fine actor in shows like "Seinfeld" and the movie "Casino".
Setting that monster aside.. Thank goodness that woman made it out alive, truly smart. That fact that we have this video to look over is just mind blowing.. Wow
Enjoyed Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut. Woman of the Hour was something I would definitely recommend. I find it hilarious he was outwitted by a 15 year old girl.
The movie was terrifying. I was a teenager during the 1970s. Anna Kendrick did an amazing job of capturing the horror of Rodney Alcala and also both the innocence and ignorance of that era.
She was an independent, street-smart young woman. A survivor. Asking her attacker to keep quiet about what happened, getting him to trust her, and then running like hell to call the police was brilliant.
She came out dressed demurely then intentionally flipped her dress up to show her legs as she was sitting down. She liked bachelor #2 after she met him. you can tell, but seemed a bit stunned by Acala. He had his hands all up on her right away. I'd like to hear the story from her point of view.
Aside from the serial killer angle, its funny to see all the pearl-clutching comments about the actual series. Hugely popular show....mostly female viewers.
Anna Kendrick brought to life a story long overdue in her latest film, Tjhe Dating Game, masterfully weaving her signature charm and depth into a character that feels both fresh and deeply relatable.
I enjoyed the film, but disagree on the false characterization of the dating game segment. Why did they change what was actually said? Did they feel like it made her character seem too much like a buffoon or less sympathetic because she asked sexual innuendo questions? And why did they make Bachelor number one in the movie seem like a buffoon who couldn't even understand a question? Bachelor number 2 in the film was vilified as a male chauvinist. If I was Jim Lang the actual host or either one of the 2 other contestants I would sue the movie producers. It seems they couldn't decide if they wanted this movie to be factual or fictional.
@@stevet7487really? Thats what you got from the movie? That they changed the question around? 😂😂 Nobody is going to sue over some dumb shit like that. They let a killer on their game show who had been turned in by a number of women. And this woman is clearly strange and trying to sexualize herself. Anna wasn’t that type in the movie, so why would she play into it on the show? Some people just don’t think.
@@taylorrenee4880 This was a movie about real characters. Truth matters. It wasn't "changing around" the questions. The actual questions and answers were laced with sexual innuendos. The show, which was hughly popular during the time was cheap sleezy entertainment. There was nothing slick or clever about his answers, and she didn't "clever up her questions. The blantant misreprestation of these real human beings matter to them. Neither bachelor was a The buffoon incapable of even understanding a question, and the other bachelor was no more a womanizer van Alcala was in his answers. I lived in L.A. during this time with Alcala and the Hillside Strangler putting terrior in the women in Los Angeles County. I blame the writers, not here. I think she did a fantastic job. But after watching, I wanted to refresh my memory, and was appalled at the distortion of the event.
@@stevet7487the movie is “based on” a true story but not a documentary. Most movies based on real life take liberties for dramatic purposes or, as in this case, use allegories to highlight deeper issues. In this case, it was to combine the experiences of different women and demonstrate how they weren’t taken seriously at the time, which is why he managed to kill for so long in spite of many women going to the police about him.
This went down nothing like they depicted on the movie. Alcala is portrayed as a Casanova but in reality all he talks about is his banana, so classy... The other ones are just two regular guys who are obviously not sharp enough to go with the flow on live tv. They got those mysoginist personas out of the blue if you ask me.
Yes, you are right. The only reason why the actual woman in RL chose him is not because he is more intelligent or sharp; it’s because if you close your eyes and listen to this show without judgement, his voice sounds more attractive than the other two. Manlier, maybe? Sadly, many women are instinctively attracted to individuals with some degree of psychopathy in them. The first phrase he says, “We are gonna have a great time together, Sheryl”, sounds threatening (tone of voice), as if he already decided everything for her and is basically stating the inevitable.
“Got his start when his father found him in the dark room fully developed.” I understand that this was photography terminology but given what we know, this was beyond chilling.
Anna Kendrick played the part like she didn’t really want to be in the show but the real girl was excited to be there and she wasn’t an actress she was a school teacher.
@@caz60s I think they could have even split the difference to make it resonate in today's world. Maybe a woman happy to be there but still put off by certain things. But what they did was so out of place and weird. Her rapid fire questions, not letting the men answer her, making little comments about how dumb they were...it was so aggressive to me. Really took me out of the movie.
This man might of killed up to 130 people and he got to sit in prison until he died of natural causes in his 70s, same with the night stalker, there is something seriously wrong with our justice system if they let these monsters live until old age
That whole Dating Game show was disgusting! The Netflix movie was so good, but watching this clip just made me see how sleazy the show really was when they really didn’t know the background of ANY of the contestants! And the host would kiss the women on the lips! 🤮 I couldn’t stop wondering what Alcala was planning in his head for her. Disgusting!!!
Sometimes I think we haven't come that far in dismantling misogyny and then I see something like this... Still miles to go but thank gawd I don't have to deal with this insanity.
Totally! The movie shows how uncomfortable it was but here she just has to grin through him touching her, telling her to play dumb, and making pointless sexual comments. 😬

Just watched the movie 🎥.
Whatta psycho.🤦🏾
@@jayhoward7448 yes! it was the best movie ever! :)
No. I was aware of this case, it's truly creepy
Bachelor 2 seemed ok
The whole tv show host kissing women guests on the lips was so strange
It was the 70s. A different time.
Richard Dawson entered chat.

@@strawberryseason I get that, still strange that there was ever a time tho
😂
shame did not exist back then because what is this 😭😭😭🤣
Still doesn’t, but at least people are afraid of social media now
@@theNash619they are?
@@shannonmarie6227yeah what 😂
That’s hilarious because the shows that are TV now have no shame. All these stupid bachelor shows and housewife shows. married at first sight, please
Have you watched any of todays shite? Reality shows, social media???
If you'd tell me one of them was a serial killer, and tell me to guess which one, I wouldn't know who to pick. Alcala was a very charming man, and that's what made him dangerous. He looks like just a normal human being.
Someone said he reminded them of Bundy. Spot on observation. Charming and good looking but all a facade.
NETFLIX WAS AN EPIC FAIL with reenacting this scene. They made it sound like he was smooth and smart with his responses. Rather the guy sounded like an absolute knucklehead.
I thought the scene dragged out forever. I was rather disappointed with this movie.
Agreed! Woman of the Hour was awful. How could the movie NOT include the “dirty old man” question along with his answer?? As if the real story wasn’t CRAZY enough, they made up a bunch of stuff: No contestant warned Cheryl to be careful of her chosen bachelor, there was no witness in the audience who disrupted the taping and tried to alert the producers, and the biggest one: she did NOT meet with Alcala for drinks after the taping (narrowly escaping abduction).
It's a MOVIE! Not a documentary!!!
Almost like it was a work of fiction. 😮@@billmichaels6973
@@billmichaels6973I'm sure he wasn't sobbing like a baby after he beat up that homeless hippie either.
They all seem like serial killers, including the woman.
@hultonclint except they're not. Just Alcala. Cmon men let's focus
Hard to focus when the judge lady is sitting up there looking like The Joker from Batman!!!
😅😂
That’s cruel - the bachelorette was a fresh, pretty young lady.
I gotta admit that was funny. Everyone was kind of creepy.
You can tell she was disappointed
yeah I think thats the main reason she didn't go out with him. I dont think it was a "hunch" like the Netflix movie makes it seem. She just wasn't attracted to him lol (good for her)
Thanks for uploading this by the way, couldn't find it anywhere else
Woman of the hour is not about being accurate on depicting the life of a serial killer its more on the experiences women goes thru whenever they meet a man like him, be nice? end up dead, report him? didn't take her seriously, try to say the right words so not to trigger him? he'll still haunt you down... its women having to do everything just so they can be safe and alive
Women: learn to notice red flags in men. When he exhibits off-behavior, be cautious with him. That’s what Cheryl did. She lived into old age.
what a naive victim blaming comment
Oof, even his voice gives me chills
2:14
This creeps me out so much knowing what he did.
Wow, you just forget how shaggy hair was back then until you see something like this. Woman of the Hour is really good. I recommend it!
Late 1970s everyone had a full mane of hair, lol.
He’ll definitely take your breath away
😂
Literally 😂
😂😂
Wow her intuition saved her life! I can't get over anyone amongst us could be a Serial killer.
They are all goofy as shit
It was the 70s.
Reality TV today is often similar
This girl sure had great intuition.
Somehow it’s the woman’s fault againnnn
@@SurimistickIt’s not any of woman’s fault but some people are more intuitive. It doesn’t mean that they’re at fault! SMH
that's easy to say only because you're watching it. I don't see how anyone would have that kind of intuition hearing responses to dumb questions, behind a wall.
@@johnmarengo3988 She had the intuition upon meeting him. She stated that he was creepy when she saw his face. However, I personally thought his answers were creepy and would have never picked him. The banana, groaning and growling, nighttime etc.
no , he said loads of creepy things to her
The creepiest part is at the end when they meet! The other guys are goofy and awkward but still have their own unique personalities. He mimics everything she does, and doesn't go in for a hug but rather, grasps her hand like they're dancing, and kisses her without hugging. He's as stiff as a board, and shows emotional distance and a need for control. He then holds her lower back for the remainder of that time to assert dominance. She knew right away because it probably made her feel sick. I'm so glad she safely escaped his dirty banana!
Dirty banana 🍌 😂
8:26 he’s a serial killer
Lol!!! 😂
Woman of the Hour was terrific and kept me clued to the television! Anna Kendrick's did a great job on focusing on the time and how straight men treated women and still do.
All straight men?
I’m gay and even I think this comment is ridiculous. The feminist movie totally misrepresented the male contestants and they should sue.
What a ridiculous conclusion
@@MeadeFatLoss Trolling Again!
@@Tonetare You probably support Trump also! Go the HELL on......
I can’t even imagine what those people felt after knowing whom they had been sitting next to😮💨
I cannot remember where I read it, but the other two men were creeped out by him.
Thank you very much. I uploaded on my channel and credited your channel. I uploaded the "Alcala scenes only" 2yrs ago and I'm getting many comments asking for the full version
Everbody was on happy pills!
😂😂
Thank you for uploading this!!
Well done Anna Kendrick
The eyes give it away
Apart from the serial killer, this was on TV in the 70's 😳🤯
And they blame the internet. Wowww!
lol yeah it was fun to watch these though I remember watching it in real time
In worst case, TVs were switched on after work/school and switched off after dinner.
Quite a difference.
I just met Jed Mills less than a week ago. He is the guy in the middle who's gone on to be a fine actor in shows like "Seinfeld" and the movie "Casino".
Hats off to Anna Kendrick for sure... she did a great job with this creepfest!
Setting that monster aside.. Thank goodness that woman made it out alive, truly smart. That fact that we have this video to look over is just mind blowing.. Wow
5:23 Imagine if she asked Alcala that question because he actually did have a nervous breakdown while in the military
my right ear enjoyed this
How interesting after seeing that good movie - thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for finding and uploading this
Enjoyed Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut. Woman of the Hour was something I would definitely recommend. I find it hilarious he was outwitted by a 15 year old girl.
If you found any of what happened “hilarious” you’re a sick person. The girl must have been petrified.
The movie was terrifying. I was a teenager during the 1970s. Anna Kendrick did an amazing job of capturing the horror of Rodney Alcala and also both the innocence and ignorance of that era.
Except he really wasn’t. He was paroled and went on to kill again
She was an independent, street-smart young woman. A survivor. Asking her attacker to keep quiet about what happened, getting him to trust her, and then running like hell to call the police was brilliant.
The first real love is blind
She came out dressed demurely then intentionally flipped her dress up to show her legs as she was sitting down. She liked bachelor #2 after she met him. you can tell, but seemed a bit stunned by Acala. He had his hands all up on her right away. I'd like to hear the story from her point of view.
The only normal person on that stage was bachelor number two
These game shows are so sexiest. The way they talk to women is mind blowing.
Aside from the serial killer angle, its funny to see all the pearl-clutching comments about the actual series. Hugely popular show....mostly female viewers.
Anna Kendrick brought to life a story long overdue in her latest film, Tjhe Dating Game, masterfully weaving her signature charm and depth into a character that feels both fresh and deeply relatable.
I enjoyed the film, but disagree on the false characterization of the dating game segment. Why did they change what was actually said? Did they feel like it made her character seem too much like a buffoon or less sympathetic because she asked sexual innuendo questions? And why did they make Bachelor number one in the movie seem like a buffoon who couldn't even understand a question? Bachelor number 2 in the film was vilified as a male chauvinist. If I was Jim Lang the actual host or either one of the 2 other contestants I would sue the movie producers. It seems they couldn't decide if they wanted this movie to be factual or fictional.
The film isn’t called the Dating Game. It was called Woman of the Hour.
@@stevet7487really? Thats what you got from the movie? That they changed the question around? 😂😂 Nobody is going to sue over some dumb shit like that. They let a killer on their game show who had been turned in by a number of women. And this woman is clearly strange and trying to sexualize herself. Anna wasn’t that type in the movie, so why would she play into it on the show? Some people just don’t think.
@@taylorrenee4880 This was a movie about real characters. Truth matters. It wasn't "changing around" the questions. The actual questions and answers were laced with sexual innuendos. The show, which was hughly popular during the time was cheap sleezy entertainment. There was nothing slick or clever about his answers, and she didn't "clever up her questions. The blantant misreprestation of these real human beings matter to them. Neither bachelor was a The buffoon incapable of even understanding a question, and the other bachelor was no more a womanizer van Alcala was in his answers. I lived in L.A. during this time with Alcala and the Hillside Strangler putting terrior in the women in Los Angeles County. I blame the writers, not here. I think she did a fantastic job. But after watching, I wanted to refresh my memory, and was appalled at the distortion of the event.
@@stevet7487the movie is “based on” a true story but not a documentary. Most movies based on real life take liberties for dramatic purposes or, as in this case, use allegories to highlight deeper issues. In this case, it was to combine the experiences of different women and demonstrate how they weren’t taken seriously at the time, which is why he managed to kill for so long in spite of many women going to the police about him.
This went down nothing like they depicted on the movie. Alcala is portrayed as a Casanova but in reality all he talks about is his banana, so classy... The other ones are just two regular guys who are obviously not sharp enough to go with the flow on live tv. They got those mysoginist personas out of the blue if you ask me.
Yes, you are right. The only reason why the actual woman in RL chose him is not because he is more intelligent or sharp; it’s because if you close your eyes and listen to this show without judgement, his voice sounds more attractive than the other two. Manlier, maybe? Sadly, many women are instinctively attracted to individuals with some degree of psychopathy in them. The first phrase he says, “We are gonna have a great time together, Sheryl”, sounds threatening (tone of voice), as if he already decided everything for her and is basically stating the inevitable.
You guys notice Joaquin’s joker character is so close to this guy’s mannerisms?
I wish in the movie that's on Netflix they would made it accurate ❤
That would have turned the movie into a comedy.
@AlextheENTP yess it would 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
“Got his start when his father found him in the dark room fully developed.” I understand that this was photography terminology but given what we know, this was beyond chilling.
Netflix brought me here!!!!! Anyone Else?????
Plot twist: bachelor 2 and 3 are also serial killers but never got caught😂
Here because of Woman of the hour
Only in the 70s can a literal serial killer go on a game show unnoticed!?!?
Anna Kendrick played the part like she didn’t really want to be in the show but the real girl was excited to be there and she wasn’t an actress she was a school teacher.
Yes, she made her look like a whole different person. It would have been better if she had represented the woman realistically
I thought she was trying to make it as an actress in Hollywood, also working as a drama teacher.
@@christinehodges6 oh
@@caz60s I think they could have even split the difference to make it resonate in today's world. Maybe a woman happy to be there but still put off by certain things. But what they did was so out of place and weird. Her rapid fire questions, not letting the men answer her, making little comments about how dumb they were...it was so aggressive to me. Really took me out of the movie.
This man might of killed up to 130 people and he got to sit in prison until he died of natural causes in his 70s, same with the night stalker, there is something seriously wrong with our justice system if they let these monsters live until old age
Wait omg thank you, im doing a presentation and this will come in handy!
There's two killers sitting next to each other, guy in the middle is Hannibal Lecter
Not the pinnacle of TV quality programming
#2 was sweet. 1 and 3 creepy lol and yes I know about #1
I just read that Alcala creeped out the bachelor #2.
wait wtf this was a legit show............. god bless america
😂
The UK had a show called Blind Date. Exactly the same concept. Don't think there was any serial killers on it though.
Never check out the Newlywed Game, then. It was just as bad if not worse.
That whole Dating Game show was disgusting! The Netflix movie was so good, but watching this clip just made me see how sleazy the show really was when they really didn’t know the background of ANY of the contestants! And the host would kiss the women on the lips! 🤮 I couldn’t stop wondering what Alcala was planning in his head for her. Disgusting!!!
seeing this after watching the movie is surreal to see
Sometimes I think we haven't come that far in dismantling misogyny and then I see something like this...
Still miles to go but thank gawd I don't have to deal with this insanity.
Oh please
Define misogyny....
Riiiight....
Totally! The movie shows how uncomfortable it was but here she just has to grin through him touching her, telling her to play dumb, and making pointless sexual comments. 😬
@MeadeFatLoss ? You don't think progress has been made since this time?
@@emeraldaly7646 not in a good way
why is this so scary even without the backstory 😭😭
She was just as weird as the 3 bachelors.
@@thehappycamper6789 not really considering she never SAd children
Nah
@@temperances320 nah for reall tho
u realize the producers probably told her to act like that. it’s a tv show and the standards were different back then
The movie was 1000x more dramatic. Shows you how movie make up things for cinematic purposes and entertainment. Nice clip.
When she seen him she was like.. Ahh crap..
Cheryl saved her own life finding out he was creepy before their date and decided not to go.
