Viewing Notes

A very British look at their last death penalty case from the late 40s. This person was wrongfully executed and the victim of a serial killer who was overlooked because of his normal, calm outward appearance.

Richard Attenborough is pretty damn good in this as the killer, and John Hurt is fantastic.
