Rillington Place.
Anybody else watching this. Loved the movie with Richard Attenborugh. His portrail of John Christie was chilling.

Hope BBC show the original film soon, really creepy and I always remember that freeze frame at the end when Christie gets caught by the police. David Attenborough was great in that film.

I've got the TiVo set for it. The Attenborough film was great.
Just noticed there is another thread on this, some in-depth discussion. If anyone's interested: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2142764 |

Some posters are getting their future and past tenses mixed up.

Was he? and all this time I thought that it was his brother Richard.

I've seen the film so not sure there is any point in watching this, No one will top David Attenborough as Christie.

it's a great performance by one of the attenborough twins and john hurt, but it's hardly a great film, it's a workmanlike adaptation of a minor book, the squalid story of a squalid serial killer barely known outside the uk.
While Fleischer gets the feel of the post war london gloom , he is hamstrung by the need to be accurate to the complex timeline of the book, and fails to rustle up much drama or tension in the entire film. |

I believe the current theories on who killed who are different from what Kennedy (who wrote the book) thought, though. |

(I didn't watch Poldark but saw a few minutes of it and was struck by a very glamorous girl in a field meant to be scything wheat. Amazing how an 18th century Cornish girl could get hold of lip gloss and mascara.) |

well, authors are entitled to put forward theories and make some moolah from book sales but, i think kennedy got it right, christie is responsible for all the murders at 10 rillington place.

I'm going to give it a go but any sign of intrusive background music or inauthenticity (over-glamorous women cos they wouldn't have been in 1948) and it's game over! The Attenborough film was such a classic I wonder if it can be bettered.
