The electric chair, firing squad and hanging were perfect!! A real deterrent, unlike lethal injection, putting a heinous criminal to sleep like a beloved pet!! No, execution should be feared. That's the idea. If more people faced these methods, they may think twice before they go shoot a bunch of innocent kids in a school!!! It's you crybaby pacifists who have far too much mercy on a pos killer!!! You are part of the problem and not the solution!!
The Fields of Ambrosia. Love this scene and Stacy Keach's monologue. This is such a great forgotten film. Plus Stacy Keach is so incredibly cool in this film as Jonas Candide, one of the all time great movie characters and antiheroes.
Some of the British executioners (the British method was hanging) would refer to executions as 'jobs' or 'drops'. Most executioners particularly Albert Pierrepoint (He hanged many of the condemned after the Nazi war criminal trials) just saw themselves as 'professionals' doing a job. I sounds pretty morbid I know
I think he was just trying to do everything he could to calm him down and give him something to look forward to...the poor guy almost fell to the floor about to pass out from being so scared...I think the executioner did a good thing by telling willy that there's a better place to go on to...willy calmed down and even smiled thinking of the fields of ambrosia... Whether its a real place or not didn't matter...its what he did for willy in the end, helping him to not be so scared of death..
This scene is one of compassion. Beautifully written and superbly performed by both actors. Truth is, it's not that far from what it's really like on the other side.
This movie was filmed at the former Kilby prison farm in Montgomery, Alabama in 1970. One of the conditions of filming was that the production company would use explosives to bring down the massive walls around the main prison building. They tried, but they were unable to bring down the walls as expected. It later fell to the state of Alabama to bulldoze the walls and bury them in the ground on the site. It was located on what it is today Congressman Dickinson Boulevard opposite of the US Air Force Gunter Annex.
If this is true then it is disgusting and such a man should never have been made an executioner. Pierrepoint was the best executioner in the world. He didn’t get his jollies from what he did, attempted to to put at ease in the last moments (“ come on lad it’ll be alright to Derek Bentley” ) and aimed and achieved brain death and instant uncomsciousness in a split second though the heart may have beaten for a while. To him the aim was to make it as dignified as possible and as quick as possible. American executions even today are long and drawn out with reading of warrants etc and are to my mind mentally cruel and an utter disgrace. Even in tinpot states like Belarus the condemned is taken and shot in back of the head before he realises what is going on. What is worse is that the US seems to revel in the cruelty and revenge. And what is worse still is they that advocate this call themselves Christian.
method of execution was determined by the state, the chair is a bad way to go. American executions never have really moved on from the Horse-and-pony public show of old England, so if it's gotta be a slow, agonizing process, full of pain, at least the character was trying to help the guy retain the last bit of dignity he had. Bear in mind, this is also a work of fiction. The state claiming the right to murder its citizens is messed up, and it needs abolished, but that's the way it stands at this time.
Wow, you have a very low view of us here in the U.S. I've seen the entire film, and it's a good story. Don't know if true, but we have movies for a concept called entertainment...😎
My Uncle Jack was the Man With the Plan at Canon City Colorado prison . He was the guy that operated the gas chamber there ... called The Green Lady . Uncle Jack was the nicest guy you ever met ... and grew some really awesome tomatoes .
Jack prepared the bags of cyanide pellets and the acid bowl under the chair . He was one of the guys that actually lowered the cyanide pellets into the acid "and checked the heart beat along with a doctor .. later ... me and two inmates removed the body and took it to the small morgue ... on "one way street" . I sat in that chair while on a tour with my dad and uncle - 8 years old and my dad freaked out .
I have had Ambrosia salad at damn near every work and family function I have ever attended. I can think of nothing more cruel and unusual than endlessly pontificating about how after I am killed, I will be living in fields of ambrosia!
I know that this is artistic license, but in actuality there would be a "strap down" team of guards/volunteers who would have been practicing every day for at least a week before the actual execution. The strap down team would have the prisoner in the chair and totally strapped in less than 20 seconds. After the warden reads the death warrant then the head and calf electrodes would be attached. When the signal is given, then the current would be turned on. The whole process would be no more
i saw that on TV around then...The only thing I recall is a mob running in the streets and someone yelling "death to the butcher-doctor." Did this ever play in theaters?
That's what I thought as well. Do what? I guess if you're blabbering word salad to someone who knows no better it can pass. Interesting, I saw no one else on here that picked up on it. I guess Shakespeare is no longer taught in our enlightened school systems?
5 minutes. The object is to dispatch the prisoner as swiftly as possible in order to spare him and the witnesses any undue distress. The closest to what actually happens is depicted in "The Green Mile"and "Dead Man Walking". Both have taken some license but pretty much accurate.
Look at the execution scene in 10. Rillington Place. A true story and a very accurate depiction of a British hanging. The executioner was one Albert Pierrepoint who's fastest execution was carrried out in just over seven seconds.
@@robertbutler8041 Its cause the British didn't do the large spectacle of reading the death warrant or last words. Just from cell to noose and drop as quickly as possible.
That executioner is clearly a psychopath, he’s about to murder someone and he’s having a casual chat with him like he’s about to shine his shoes. lol Psycho much?
It is actually common for wardens and prison personnel to do their best to keep a death row inmate calm. Most inmates are already stressed out knowing that their days are numbered. So by keeping them as calm as possible right up to the point of execution makes them easier to manage. Otherwise if the inmate is over stressed, they could end up hurting themselves and those around them. You'll never hear of a prison staff member taunting an inmate on death row even once they're in the chair or on gurney. If you do, that'll be the last time that staff member ever takes part in an execution or works in a prison even.
you miss the point- he is merely the instrument of the state, which is what is killing the convicted man. he attempts to make this coldly calculated act human for the one condemned to death. a wonderful fantasy, as in the real world the state allows no such niceties.
Ok your inspired ,look the my seat on this one & I'll work on my own redemption back in the Penitentiary, no,no I insists, now ,oh yes there is the switch ,buzzzzzzzzzz,ha ha,only in America 🇺🇸, ha,ha ha ha..
Cruel and unusal punishment. The electric chair is bad enought, but having to listen to that guy as well?

Great scene and great job of acting by Keach. "I'd love to go with you, Willy". Don't know who the screenwriter was but he did a wonderful job.
This had to be the most kindest executioner I have ever seen in my entire life
OMG, never heard of this movie. But THAT was one of the most amazing cinematic moments I ever saw.
it reminds me of being in a car dealership being sold a car
That being on a phone with scammer telling you a lot of shit
Pierrepoint was able to do this in 7 seconds flat
They're both movies, idiot! Done for cinematic effect. This is one hell of a great monologue. Don;t you understand why he did it?
@@stratowhore9051 nice of you to use your mom's name as your CZcams user name. Good kid.
I wonder was he an olympics champion?
Nicest kindest execution ever
Yah
"A deceased client of mine" - well I never would have thought of the person being executed as a "client"....

He got paid for each excecution so yes his client

Good God! Talk about getting bored to death. This is really cruel and unusual punishment.
Even when killing someone stacy keach is just a delight
Stacey Ketch executing Mini Me !!
*three minutes into the monologue* “shoot me...throw the switch....light me on fire....just make it stopppp”
I couldn't stop laughing when I read that!!!!!😅😅😅
I'm not certain that approach would work for me.
What crap. As if the guy would carry on like that. Kinder to just get it over and done with as quickly as possible.
This has a almost sensual feel to it
He was giving him a hand job.
Talked to death
"Client"....that's too rich.
I don't want to be an executioner anymore.
I want to be executed.
Ambrosia.
Who doesnt love Ambrosia.
Best tinned rice in the world.
Prefer the custard with a nice bit of apple crumble
Willy telling the man just kill me get over with.
The fields of ambrosia, ambrosia comes in a tin, either rice or custard 😂😂👍👍 yummy too
And here's your tin opener, Willy.
having to listen to all that bullshit before is cruel and unusual punishment

Name from this movie
its the traveling executioner
I recall this from tv There's a scene with a mob rand someone yelling "death to the butcher doctor."Funny the stuff you recall.
Sounds like my wife. I'd wanna finish the job myself.
Executioner sitting in the electric chair. You'd think that would be bad luck.
I have had Ambrosia salad at damn near every work and family function I have ever attended. I can think of nothing more cruel and unusual than endlessly pontificating about how after I am killed, I will be living in fields of ambrosia!
How do u hang your willy?..do u use a little noose or somethin
If I had his job I'd probably go about this way, depending on the prisoner.
What bullshit is this? Albert Pierrepoint, the British executioner, averaged about 12 seconds from first meeting the prisoner to hanging him.
I felt like saying " Get on with it for @#£%£ Sake ❕❕
As Irma Grese said ~ “Schnell!”
Possibly the sickest story-plot line ever.

Wow... interesting perspective
I love it
If I recall correctly, he had to be executed twice.
Aye i want to see all of it
Hard to believe that this is Cameron from American history x
Ken Titus is the executioner how cool is that
He makes me go weak at the knees ha ha
I thought he was going to make out with the dude before he executed him. So gay.
Wow, I didn't know that talking someone to death was a legitimate form of execution in the US.
Stacy Keach should go back to Cheech and Chong movies.

It is not a criminal act when you are putting to death a criminal who probably took someone else's life in a painful way.
