The Cater Street Hangman Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Virginia White I think it was a fantastic movie all the actors and actresses were really great and it was a gorgeous film and it showed just how people were treated who were in a lower class and how the rich treated them as well.
meileen1942 I enjoy Anne Perry's novels, both Thomas Pitt and also William Monk (which would have also made good material for a movie). But I had in mind someone more like Alan Rickman in his younger days. Is there no one able to speak as he does, coming up in the ranks of actors? The character of Charlotte would have been better with someone a little stronger in ability to make Charlotte the determined character she was. I am sure everyone pictures their own ideals when reading a book, but changing the story a bit doesn't bother me as much as making the characters not fit the story. Thomas Pitt was described as having a beautiful voice and brown, not blonde, hair. Anyway. I do so wish they would try a movie using William Monk and his friend, a nurse from the Crimea. (By the way, AP's books have also become audio books, the best ones read by David McCallum, another gentleman with a talented and wonderful voice). I do believe they may have tried making this one because it is the first of the Inspector Pitt series. The stories get better as time progresses. Making one like Pentecost Alley, or Ashworth Hall would be much more entertaining. To have pitted the future of other dramatizations on this one book, was not a good idea as can be seen.
TeaJay While liberties were taken with the original story by Anne Perry, the Cater Street Hangman was very true to the overall feeling of the novel. Eoin McCarthy did an outstanding job as Inspector Pitt - very believable. Keeley Hawes also did wonderful work as the much-oppressed, liberal-minded woman of Victorian times. I wasn't interested in Anne Perry's work until after I had watched this movie, and I hope to see more adaptations of this series in the near future.
erin-31 I enjoyed this movie. I thought it was very well done and I cannot wait to see more shows. The acting was great. Mr McCarthy and Ms Hawes did an excellent job of bring the lead characters to life.
