Daniel Zovatto portrays convicted killer Rodney Alcala in Woman of the Hour, the feature film directed by Anna Kendrick. Its story is tied to Alcala’s 1978 appearance on the television program The Dating Game. The film dramatizes real events; its scenes and dialogue should not be treated as documentary evidence of what happened.
What is known about Zovatto’s portrayal
The available account identifies Zovatto as Alcala and Kendrick as the film’s director, but it does not provide the full interview or verified detail about Zovatto’s preparation, research, or acting choices. It therefore cannot support a specific account of how he built the performance or a direct quotation from him.

A search-result summary of a CBR article says the film’s decision to leave visual violence out was “powerful.” Because that wording comes through an indirect summary rather than a verified interview transcript, it is not presented here as a confirmed quotation from Zovatto.
How the film relates to the real story
Woman of the Hour connects its story to Alcala’s appearance on The Dating Game in 1978. That historical reference provides context for the film, but it does not make the production a documentary. Without independent sourcing for particular scenes, the film’s dialogue, events, and characterization cannot establish precisely what Alcala or other people said or did.
