I thought at first I thought it was quite good then when the police cars started sounding American type sirens instead of the bell type that police cars where using in the 30s The second mistake is when the Murder was speaking to Poirot in a long type hall this a complete no no.He would not have drinking coffee etc if they had checked there facts this ABC Murder is meant to sent in the 30s. This is what happened ( By the way you did not go down a flight of stars to be hanged ) The condemned man was in the condemned cell 24 hours before his Execution guarded by two prison officers all night they will try and keep his mind of what will happen. he will see his last visitors on this day On The following morning just before 9am (Prisoners where always hanged at this time the head Hang man and his assistant would come in though the cell door the assistant would have two leather straps one he would pull the arms behind his back and tie them with one of the leather straps he will be offed a brandy.Then what happens is there a wardrobe that slides across this will be the first time that he will see the noose he is quickly moved to the drop his his legs are quickly tied the white cap is placed over his head then the rope is then placed over his head near the left jaw the doors open and the condemned drops the noose comes to the front of the jaw pulls back the head it breaks the 3rd vertebra of the spine and dies instantly.The quickest time any one was Executed was by Albert Pierrpoint who done it from the condemned cell to the drop in 14 seconds if you want to see a good film about Him Timothy Spall does a good job it on DVD Again AMERICAN police Sirens on British cars of the 30s What started ou good turned out to be RUBBISH!!!
