Derek Bentley was partially pardoned posthumously by Home Secretary Michael Howard, who said he should not have been hanged, but was still guilty. Bentley's conviction was later overturned by the Court of Appeal, who said that he had not had a fair trial because of the behavior of the trial judge, Lord Goddard. This movie has been credited for keeping the case in the public eye.
Original Director Alex Cox was replaced by Peter Medak because Cox wanted to film in black-and-white.
Christopher Eccleston's nephew Peter played Derek Bentley as a child. Peter's sister Rebecca also has a part in this movie.
Based on the 1990 book "Let Him Have It, Chris" by British author and history teacher, M.J. Trow.
This was Norman Rossington's final film before his death on May 21, 1999 at the age of 70.
"Chris Craig: [muttering in the middle of his trial] Should've killed that fucker as well."
"Derek Bentley: Let him have it, Chris!"
