[karabulut]

Can anyone out there tell me where I can find the above DVD starring Timothy Spall?..I've tried Amazon..Play.com..and Blah..but to no avail

Any help would be much appreciated.

Considering it only came out at the pictures this week i'm not surprised you can find it on dvd!
You'll have to wait a few months yet (or why not go and see it at your local cinema!)

the opportunity to see this film would be most appreciated. I live in Birmingham area, and the closest cinema actually showing the film is in Camden.

Thanks anyway mate.

i agree with you mushroom.. I live in Lincoln and its not being shown at the cinema here either :( not fair considering it was filmed here in Lincoln and some locals were used as extras

Unless you want a pirate copy of the film!

Edinburgh has only one cinema showing the filrm. I saw it this afternoon and came to the conclusion that it is 45 per cent fiction, 45 per cent mistakes and only 10 per cent truth.

I have been interested in the man since the Derek Bentley execution in January 1953. I have read everything I could get my hands on about British capital punishment since then and have gleaned enough information from various sources, including Pierrepoint's autobiography, to come to the conclusion that while it is a very interesting film. many of the facts should be taken with a pinch of salt.
