For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Edinburgh has only one cinema showing the filrm. I saw it this afternoon and came to the conclusion that it is 45 per cent fiction, 45 per cent mistakes and only 10 per cent truth.
I have been interested in the man since the Derek Bentley execution in January 1953. I have read everything I could get my hands on about British capital punishment since then and have gleaned enough information from various sources, including Pierrepoint's autobiography, to come to the conclusion that while it is a very interesting film. many of the facts should be taken with a pinch of salt.
