Let Him Have It
1991
Derek Bentley, a young man with learning difficulties, was hanged in 1953 for a murder committed by his younger accomplice, in a controversial miscarriage of justice that haunted British legal history for decades. Peter Medak's film is a compelling and emotionally charged dramatisation of the case, starring Christopher Eccleston.
