Coincidentally, it was the second time today we'd seen Eastenders' Rudolph Walker (earlier an African king in King Ralph!), who here finds the corpses. It was actually filmed in Rillington Place, which must have added to the creepiness.
Fleischer is good at this sort of material (cf. The Boston Strangler). Attenborough is convincing as serial killer, Hurt as bewildered innocent.
Music by John Dankworth and shot by Denys Coop. Poor old Timothy John Evans, who was pardoned, exhumed and reburied 10 years after he was hanged in error, for all the good that did him.
