Peter Medak’s 1991 film about the controversial 1953 execution of Derek Bentley for the murder of a policeman stars Christopher Eccleston as the doomed Bentley, Tom Courtenay as his father and a supporting cast featuring a who’s who of British character actors including Edward Hardwicke (Watson of BBC’s Sherlock Holmes), Michael Gough (Horror of Dracula) and Clive Revill (The Legend of Hell House) as the executioner Pierrepoint. Even though Bentley merely egged on the actual shooter with the phrase, “Let him have it, the jury, under prejudicial instruction from the judge, decided the words meant “Shoot him!” • As always, you can find more commentary, more reviews, more podcasts, and more deep-dives into the films you don't know you love yet over on the Trailers From Hell mothership: • http://www.trailersfromhell.com • On our podcast THE MOVIES THAT MADE ME, join Oscar-nominated screenwriter Josh Olson and TFH Fearless Leader Joe Dante in conversation with filmmakers, comedians, and all-around interesting people about the movies that made them who they are.
