WARNING: CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE
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
Pierrepoint record 7.5 seconds
Totally unrealistic interpretation of the execution process in 1950's Britain.
This actress is really good!
@Justin Ellison///aka really good BIRD THESPIAN???🐦📸🎥🎞🎬📺🎭
The noose is wrong.
The hanging scene was not one atom like the real event
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.
catherine with your blonde hair you remind me some fit girl i used to know
Hey is it a movie or real?
Her QC was a disgrace the hole lot of them
@@highcountrydelatite u have no idea what ya talking about
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
Me think's this is a fanciful load of "Bovine Scatology"
The Journey Is Better Than The End! PHS
hanged in trousers in 1955?

Brava Catherine.
@@peterhenryschroeder2445 no she wasn’t. She wore a skirt and blouse ....
Don’t be silly and drop the vocal fry in the recreation of the character.
Don't no if any of this is fact based?
What accent did Ruth have?
Norman Seagull not the accent in the video lol. I think Ruth’s is a bit put on but if you UA-cam ruth Ellis speaking there is a video of what she sounds like x
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.
@@nicolerussell5455 WOW I didn't know there was such a thing, how can I find it
Totally inaccurate ending scenes.
How she get a gun in the first place
Watch the film and you'll find out.
She got the gun from Desmond, her friend and lover
Dreadful production! So far removed from the facts!
Unconvincing portrayal , couldn't watch it beyond 10 minutes , too self conscious and over played .
Dont like this version nor the actress switching off
What a total guff production
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.
