Curiosidades
Despite the title Pierrepoint was not Britain's last hangman. He retired in the mid 1950s, shortly after executing Ruth Ellis. Britain never had a "last hangman", as the last two executions before suspension of capital punishment were carried out in different cities at the same time. The last two people executed were both guilty of the murder of John West, so it was decided to carry out the sentence at the same time in Aug 1964. People were still being sentenced to death In November 1965.

Erros de gravação
The Hamelin war criminal hangings took place in an execution chamber at the end of a cell corridor within the old prison itself, not in an aircraft hangar. Pierrepoint described this very clearly in his memoirs.

Very very dark film...great performances

Other writers have outlined what this film is about - Albert Pierrepoint, Britain's last hangman - so I shan't repeat a synopsis. The subject matter of the film is very dark, but what humanises it are the great performances from Juliet Stevenson and especially Tim Spall. The 8 is for the quality of the acting and the film is well worth seeking out for this alone.

I've not seen many reviews of the film so I hope you will forgive me if I post details of one:
