I love these old school , British crime films, like these one,and specialy Long Good Friday and Get Carter.

[@davidbowie2046]

Excellent movie, gritty England in the 70's. Which is way preferable than today!

[@guidadiehl9176]

England has become a sewer. It's criminal what successive Labour and Conservative governments have done to such a once-beautiful country.

[@sporegalaxies4002]

My house was right next to bathpool woods where we played as kids. He used to steal milk from our door in the mornings and my dad because he worked nights, the police came and interviewed him in our home and they got a shock ad he had just hit offa night shift and his eyes were all red. Anyway of course it was not my dad. Another couple of things us kids found a nap in a tree hole with a ring around Kidsgrove my home town and where he had Lesley down the drains in bathpool park. The map we took to the police too. And the end of the film is the post office where the police catch him in Kidsgrove. So sad she was killed by him and the others he murdered. I moved from Kidsgrove in 2021 to the Outer Hebrides where I now live. Brings back memories.

I first watched this in the early 80's. I'm sure it was banned back then in Britain. Our small local corner shop was the only place that had it on video.

[@mrhat50]

Neilson was driven to all this mayhem because he was bullied in school, according to WikiPedia. His last name was Nappy. It did not do him any favours.

[@mikeconey2164]

Bullied at school, so he does this? What crap.

[@richmck007]

Yes, but no excuse to torture an innocent family and kill postal office workers. He was a clumsy thief. Feel so sorry for his wife and daughter who have to live with what happened.

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

Being called Nappy or Wikipedia?

[@simonmilligan7497]

I remember this tragic case well. This film was in the worst possible taste and showed no consideration for the feelings of Leslie Whittle's family.

[@noseyparker6969]

Someone who had the Police chasing their tails for eight years should be portrayed as weak, daft man.....typical.

[@adrianparker-e9f]

Yes, i see your point there. The police don't seem to have got anywhere with identifying him for some reason. I suppose that if he didn't have any friends and kept away from people, there isn't anyone to put his name forward as a suspect ? ( and many criminals are only caught because someone informs on them.) I don't know many details about the investigation and why he wasn't caught sooner.

[@splinterbyrd]

@@noseyparker6969 They spent 5y, millions of police hours and millions of pounds chasing the Yorkshire Ripper. It got them absolutely nowhere. When the killer was finally nicked, it was purely by accident. 2 bobbies on the beat happened to pull him over for kerbcrawling Useless Yorkshire Plods in way over their head

[@MikeGreenwood51]

After 400 burgularies the Police could still not identify the burgularies as commited by the same criminal as he kept changing his modus Operandi. He also varied the locations and choose them for their remoteness and ease of access across country.

[@adrianparker-e9f]

@ Was his eventual capture just 'bad luck for him', or was he becoming less competent ? Was he making mistakes, maybe if he was unhappy with things, maybe fed up with it ?

[@matthewfisher-sp5fq]

I ride my Push bike through bath pool park on acayshon. And wonder where he kept her captive in the park. Did he push her or did she slip of buy Accident and hang. R.I.P. Leslie Wittel.

Occasion*

[@MikeGreenwood51]

There is no conclusive proof if she slipped or was pushed. But either way she died during the kidnapping crime and as such Neilson would be charged with her murder. She would not have died had the criminal not put a noose about her neck and put her at that location.

[@danielperez-sz2ii]

nice movie!

[@flashgordon6670]

Fairly entertaining, but was more of a comedy watching a series of bungled crimes, by the world’s most incompetent criminal. 6.2/10

[@adrianparker-e9f]

Is he getting away with it just by chance ? I suppose if he doesn't have any friends or accomplices, then there's no one to put his name forward to the police; which is how many criminals are caught.

[@derekharley7791]

Are we supposed to be surprised that an ex-soldier should go on to behave like that?

[@mikeconey2164]

Yes, I can't think of any others off hand.

[@Peter-uy3ti]

Of course not. Didn't you know that all ex soldiers are psychopathic criminals ?

[@interstat2222]

Similar MO to Michael Sams (see A Murderer's Game on here), who was probably inspired by Neilson to commit his crimes.

[@TWD85]

Indeed. When Sams committed his crimes it was only about 15 years after Neilson's arrest, so would've still been fresh in the publics conscious. Of course Sams went straight for the big time pay out using kidnap and ransom. I believe Neilson himself was partly inspired by the kidnap of Muriel McKay in 1969. He apparently studied her kidnap and ransom and tried not to make the same mistakes that her kidnappers made.

[@davorpirsic3234]

A certain kind of madness in his head. The thought that he was in control of their lives. That be could just do as he wished right there and then…End their lives. I am guessing. I believe he went off the rails when he was in the army or when he left.

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

How did he know that workmen wouldn't discover Lesley alive during his absence?

[@MikeGreenwood51]

I guess he did not. But it's reasonable in my opinion to believe a storm drain such as that one is not opened regually. It was about 2 or 3 months when workmen entering found the body.

[@michaelfraser5723]

WALTER MITTY

[@adrianparker-e9f]

If the ransom hand over had gone ahead, i don't know what plans, if any, he had to get out of that area should the police be around ? This is the trickiest part of the plan, being able to pick up the money and get away. In this case it looks as if there were only a few policemen following the money, a 'few' minutes away, so there would be a good chance that the kidnapper could avoid capture in the dark. ( what was the police's plan anyway ?)
