About this product

Product Information

Pierrepoint is the gripping and dramatic true-life story of Albert Pierrepoint, Britain's most notorious hangman. Following in the footsteps of his father and uncle before him, Albert joins the 'family business' in 1934. Living a secret life as a master hangman, as well as a humble grocery deliveryman and loyal husband, Pierrepoint's reputation as the most highly regarded executioner in the land results in him executing some of Britain's most infamous murderers including Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis, and also the Nazi war criminals convicted at the Nuremberg Trails. But the media coverage from these shatters Pierrepoint's closely guarded anonymity turning him into a minor celebrity. As his two lives collide, and public opinion turns against capital punishment, Pierrepoint troubled by his notoriety is ready to give it all up, but fate has other plans in store for him. Featuring an outstanding performance by Timothy Spall, as the executioner struggling with his work, duty and conscience, Pierrepoint is a provocative tale of crime, punishment and redemption, set against a fascinating backdrop of British social and political change.

The Man
He believed he was a part of the Justice system ,as it was at that time,he was a humble man,proud of his family's traditions and was of the firm belief that hanging was not a deterrent to murder. I have also read his biography. The above is my opinion.
