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)
The film's bleak depiction of immediate post-war Britain is just stunning, Attenborough deserved the Oscar for his amazing characterisation of Christie...a monster with a facade no-one thought to question. No clear-thinking and perceptive person could possibly watch this movie and not be affected in some way. The horror Is that there IS no horror, just a veneer of respectability and decency. I cannot offhand, nominate a more powerful or credible piece of film-making. We have this film in our library and watch it on average ever two years - it has never aged or been less impactful!
