Nothing to do with Mr Pierrepoint, but, many, many people think Derek Bentley was innocent..Still a sore point up until this day. (Plus some others also)
Thanks a lot!

Good movie. For those interested, there's also a 1985 biographic picture about Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in England (by this guy Pierrepoint), called "Dance With a Stranger", with Miranda Richardson in the main role, directed by Mike Newell.
