Mr. Black My Rating = B
2005 Toronto Film Report Off I head to the Varsity for the first time this festival. Movie: “The Last Hangman”.Plot Outline: The life and times of Albert Pierrepoint – Britain’s most prolific hangman.
Always feel comfortable picking films from the United Kingdom. If it has made it to the film festival, and it is UK produced, it will be good. At least that is what I have found over the years at the festival.
Now this project was originally a made for Granada TV in the UK. Not 100% sure if it has aired yet on television over in the UK. This is a very well made, well acted movie. The Director and actor “Timothy Spall” was there for the interesting Q/A session. Basically the story follows the Hangman ‘Pierrepoint’ (following in this father’s foot prints) over his career as Britain’s ‘Best” executioner. How does this job affect him, and even more interesting how it affects everyone around him.
The most unlikely plot twist was to my amazement completely true. The filmmakers try to be as accurate as possible; there was no need to make anything up, the true story itself in interesting enough. The trip ‘Pierrepoint’ took to Germany after the war was particularly well done.
The Q/A raised the obvious questions on the Death Penalty, and the producers’ feelings on that subject. There is a brief scene of ‘Pierrepoint’ cleaning up a ‘lady’ afterwords, it included some full frontal nudity. A lady in the audience asked why that was shown, and not a guy in the same position. In the attempt to be accurate as possible the director stated that when a woman is hanged there are “biological” differences that need special attention. He did not want to go into specifics, which was just fine with this blogger.
Great Film, but the subject material is dark, ‘Pierrepoint’ is shown at work for most of the film, which will put some people off.
I knew before watch the movie that it was originally made for TV. There is a lot of quality material that hits the airwaves. Watching a movie on to the Big Screen certainly adds to the experience of any movie. Now what if you watched some of the best “The Sopranos” episodes on the big screen? What about “Six Feet Under” or what ever your favorite drama program is. This is good, but do you need to throw your $10 down to see it in the theater? If the idea of seeing quality TV on the big screen is appealing to you, then the answer is most certainly yes.
My Rating = B
an excellent film
An excellent movie to watch but there could have been more true facts on the people that he hung. One in particular comes to mind and that is Dorothea Waddingham (nurse).Pierrepoint did not execute Waddingham,he was the assistant to his uncle for this particular execution.Quite a lot of what they call artistic licence in the film but an excellent movie all the same. Also in the movie i noticed that the metal eyelet of the rope always finished at the back of the condemned persons neck ,where it should have finished at the front under the chin to be factually correct.
In the movie as well they made out that Pierrepoint was in fact very close friends with James Henry Corbitt (tish & tosh).This was not so as he was a regular in Pierrepoints pub and they would sing together nothing more.
