Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe whole of Rillington Place (renamed Ruston Close in Ladbroke Grove) was due for demolition when filming took place, but was put off until filming had been completed. As soon as movie crews and equipment had been removed, demolition crews went in under police guard. The whole street remained under guard until it had been demolished, and rubble removed, to prevent trophy hunters attempting to remove any building debris belonging to Number 10 for souvenirs. Number 7 was used for interior shots, as number 10 had been gutted to stop souvenir hunters.
- GoofsWhen Christie is explaining the procedure he's about to perform on Beryl, he says that natural gas contains carbon monoxide, then quotes its formula as CO2 (which is actually carbon dioxide). The correct formula for carbon monoxide is CO. However, the point appears to be to show him for the half-educated conman he is. It's just Christie's character creating an air of "expertise".
- Quotes
John Reginald Christie: It's the moral question that concerns me, the taking of life - no matter how rudimentary.
Beryl Evans: It's not really... I'd be ever so grateful, Mr Christie.
- Crazy creditsPrologue to opening credits: "This is a true story. Whenever possible, the dialogue has been based on official documents"
- ConnectionsFeatured in 10 Rillington Place: Interview with Sir Richard Attenborough (2004)
Richard Attenborough takes the lead role and does fantastically well with it. His calm mannerisms and nonthreatening demeanour clash well with the underlying evil of his character and we really can believe that this man is a maniac. The film was made in the United Kingdom, I'm proud to say, and this is obvious throughout. UK films have a certain atmosphere about them, and although I didn't know that this movie was homegrown before watching it; it soon became apparent. This style bodes well with the theme of the film, as it's downtrodden and makes sure that the film is firmly planted in the land in which the story took place. The idea of an innocent man not only going down, but being killed, for a crime he did not commit is shocking and the cold way that it is presented in this film reflects the fact that it actually happened and also gives it more of a degree of shock. On the whole, 10 Rillington Place is a film that shouldn't be missed by anyone. It's not all that well known, but this is unfair considering the quality of it and I wont hesitate to recommend this movie to people in the future.
