snaps your neck like a dried out twig

Timothy Spall! What an actor! wow!

[Noodles37UK]

Syd Dernley = total amateur.

[callipposhots]

more dramatic license, the aquaintance Pierrepoint hanged he knew from the pub, didn't murder his victim in Liverpool, but Lytham St Anne's. Not too many Americans have heard of Lytham St Anne's, but lots have heard of Liverpool.

[callipposhots]

the guy was from Bradford. I rest my case.

[potatochips65]

tht blonde girl he hangs is hot or at least was hot

[BonFire71]

at 07:58 what's that score called ? Who's the composer ? Is there maybe an OST CD available ? Couldn't find anything like that so far. ..but I must have it. btw..that scene is ...heart-breaking :°-(

[ericdolphyquartet]

My God, Timothy Spall's performance in this...

[Raylufc]

evans was innocent it was cristy who killed evans wife with an ileagal abortion

[Krzyszczynski]

billybobmacguyver: Graphic? Yes. Realistic? Never!! See Timothy Evans' execution in "10 Rillington Place" for a truer depiction. The whole process took about ten seconds, from Pierrepoint's going through the cell door, to the trap opening. "Mercifully quick" in Ludovic Kennedy's words: no hesitation, no f*rt*ng around. (I think they usually tried to arrange it so that the condemned person had their back to AP when he walked in, just to make it that bit quicker.)

5:55 - death metal growling

[fozziebear2009]

Pierrepoint didn't know "tish" very well. He was just some guy who used to go in his pub. Why they have made a big deal about it in this film I have no idea.

[laurenlfc48]

It;s because later in life he was extremely against capital punishment and many believe this is why.

[DeepSixed300]

Yet he wasn't actually. Listen to his interview on BBC Radio Merseyside in 1976 where he states he often feels "I could go again" whenever he reads particularly brutal murder cases. He was a confused man if anything, not an abolitionist.

[DeepSixed300]

Because it furthered their anti-Capital Punishment message.

[billybobmacguyver]

This is perhaps the most realistic hanging scene ever dipicted on cinematic film, in its graphicness at the least.

[Torch6661]

Jesus...what a price to pay

[squeakyadam]

Yes but somebody else had already murdered someone . At the end of day it was the government / the state that executed people .

Secondly he despatched people in the quickest and humane way possible .

[SPAG22]

6.40 Wow even though he's a murdering scumbag I actually felt slightly sympathetic towards him.
