Watch the film and you'll find out.

She got the gun from Desmond, her friend and lover

@Justin Ellison///aka really good BIRD THESPIAN???🐦📸🎥🎞🎬📺🎭

Norman Seagull not the accent in the video lol. I think Ruth’s is a bit put on but if you KZbin ruth Ellis speaking there is a video of what she sounds like x

Not Irish as in the video. Could be said to be a refined southern English with more eastern Southern English influence which could include good quality Welsh educated. The refined Welsh can not be distinguished by myself as it is very similar to good quality refined English. But needs to be said as she was born in Wales and lived there prior to moving during the war to London. Cound almost be said to sound some what like Princess Diana.

@@nicolerussell5455 WOW I didn't know there was such a thing, how can I find it

Pierrepoint record 7.5 seconds

@@highcountrydelatite u have no idea what ya talking about

not hanging scene in dance with a stranger

In a final letter to Blakely's parents from her prison cell, Ellis wrote, "I have always loved your son, and I shall die still loving him." i just watched dance with a stranger online and ive seen it a few times years ago, but they ended the film where she says call the police, i know i saw that scence in that film so god knows why its been ommited frrom what i just watched

@@millyriley9615 Yes, I remember it too. The letter she wrote was how the original film ended.

There wasn't. Just about everything that could be wrong was wrong in this final scene. In reality if you take the point when the governess entered ''the row'' as being when Pierrepoint and entourage entered her cell, in reality she was already dead by the time the governess had unlocked her door.

there were more then a one or two felons sometimes awaiting sentence of death however officially there was no name like death row. In the prison system , it was called the condemned wing / cell

@@geezerp1982 You obviously don't know what you're talking about, there haven't been ''felons'' in the UK for about 300 years lol. There were rarely if ever more than one prisoner awaiting execution in a British jail. Certainly no death row. The gallows was in an adjoining cell to the condemned cell which the prisoner didn't know until about 10 seconds before the end of his life.

@@simonh6371 wrong ! felon is not even english ! its french the yanks copied the english law ! felonies and misdemeanors were how crimes were divided until 1967 ! after 1967 it became indictable and summary offences . in the prison system there was a condamned wing or cell condemned felons were not put in the general population or in remand wings ! i can think of more then a few capital cases where there two condamned prisoners in the last hanging were two prisoners

@@geezerp1982 I know that felon is of French origin, as are most words in the legal system - justice, judge, jury, assizes and so on. I also know that it used to be in English law and is one of those antiquated English words still in use in the US. As you say the name of felony changed in 1967. However I'm pretty sure that people who committed felonies in the Uk weren't called felons for a long time before that. Finally the last 2 men executed in England were executed at the same time, but in different prisons, one in Manchester, the other in Liverpool. Unlike the US there was no need for a death row because if a convict didn't appeal, he would be executed in 2-3 weeks after sentencing (three clear Sundays) A death row would have only been neccessary if people were being executed on a weekly basis, dozens a year in one prison, and that wasn't the case.

hanged in trousers in 1955?
