    The way convicts were hanged in GB was not like the way it’s portrayed here. This is Hollywood style.

    Here in the uk, we had no death row, just a condemned cell which had a wardrobe in it, behind the wardrobe was the scaffold in an adjoining cell, there was never a long walk, jus about 10 paces to the trapdoor, it was a very hurried affair to avoid stress to the prisoners, it was all over in roughly 20 seconds from the hangman entering the cell to the prisoner being dead

    Totally unrealistic interpretation of the execution process in 1950's Britain.

    Mixed feelings here, I like the portrayal and the one actress monologue medium. For the purist, it is spoilt by the death row imagery and the complete whitewash over the hanging process. Pierrepont never met Ruth Ellis the day before....I would suggest that line be removed rather than suggest artistic license. One things for sure.... Desmond did have a lot to answer for....

    "The Trial of Ruth Ellis" in the Ladykiller series is a much better portrayal of Ellis and the whole Judicial Hanging process and incarceration in the Condemned Cell prior to it, and the film Yield to the Night starring Diana Dors is a harrowing depiction of someone in prison awaiting to be topped. The former is on UA-cam but you'll have to go and find the latter one yourselves.

    Death Row? Not in the UK. The cells are totally different. Holloway Prison did not have cells like that. They are classed as a condemned prisoner. I think they made this for the US.

    the depiction of the execution was completely wrong, and bore no accuracy as to how executions were carried out in the UK during the 1950s and 60s

      Not Irish as in the video. Could be said to be a refined southern English with more eastern Southern English influence which could include good quality Welsh educated. The refined Welsh can not be distinguished by myself as it is very similar to good quality refined English. But needs to be said as she was born in Wales and lived there prior to moving during the war to London. Cound almost be said to sound some what like Princess Diana.

    It should of been shown her falling through the trap door like was should in the hanging scene of " In Cold Blood " ; a movie w/ Robert Blake , and 4get the other character who was also hanged .
    It is often seen females hanged in barefeet , and believe U / Me Ruth probably had something 4those with ft. Fetishes.
