* VindicatedByHistory: On its initial release, the movie was considered a box office disappointment and received mixed-to-negative critical reviews, with many finding the anti-death penalty message [[{{Anvilicious}} too on the nose]], though the performances (particularly Creator/JohnHurt, who received a BAFTA nomination) were praised. Over the years, it's become better-appreciated as a landmark in the TrueCrime genre and a solid film in its own right.
