Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman
I saw this movie in the video shop a while back and was wondering if it's any good. Has anyone seen it? Is it gruesome? Would you recommend it?

The one with Timothy Spall ?? It's not gruesome as such but it's a very good film and portrays the man quite well I think.

Excellent movie, I watched it because one of my family friends knew him as her uncle Albert while she was a child.

I haven't seen the movie, but I read a book about him years ago and that was really good.

Re: Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman
I remember reading an article about him when I was in school and he across as a consummate proffessional (despite the grizzly nature of the job). Will definitely get it out soon.
Is it based on true events or have they glammed it up a little?
