The film does not tell the truth

You are so right! The film DIDN'T tell us he had two middle names and one of them was Halliday!
In case you took the extra time to listen to the movie with John Hurt's narrative, you would have heard that if Timothy Evans had, in fact, strangled his wife, there would have been two stranglers living in the same building. That would have amounted to 43 coincidences. And for the British High Court to move Evan's body to consecrated ground was not something done casually in a country that does not believe in the separation of church and state.
Anytime someone uses either the term 'all' or 'none' you can assume it is an exaggeration. That is what annoys me. -

That is your sole reasoning? my God. It is that silly sort of pompous assumption that is made which makes me laugh.A bit like saying that when there have been 2 blacks in succession at roulette you can win a fortune by betting on red.My advice to you is to stay away from casinos

For someone like David Maxwell-Fyfe to order a review of the case makes your comments seem somewhat daft. Remember, Sir David was a such a believer in capital punishment that he refused to overturn the death sentence of Derek Bentley even though the jury recommended mercy. Evans was an illiterate who Christie was able to manipulate. By the way, what "facts" did Kennedy (not a particular favorite of mine) omit? Be specific and then I might consider your argument.

Several, here are two. At the post mortem of Mrs Evans no trace of semen was found in her vagina yet the film clearly shows him achieving orgasm.I understand that Kennedy wrote that if they had taken a swab of her vagina semen would have been found. Kennedy conveniently omits that Tim was a difficult child and was violent to his wife at times.The violence verged on the maniacal and Kennedy makes no mention of the testimony of FOUR people who saw this.
What about Beryl's flirtation with the painter? Ok three the bruising to her legs.Four Evans was a heavy drinker, no mention.Ill go for a nap hand here==no mention that Beryl left the house on the morning of the murder with baby,pram and friend.And one last one of many Beryls body was wrapped differently from christies other victims, but that the wrapping was similar to that of Setty's.OK? -

I don't believe Christie killed the Evans child, I believe it was Evans. Evans admitted this in prison to Hume.
I don't get this "its too much of a coincidence" stuff, surely there is a possibility of two killers at the same address, unlikely,yes, but impossible, no. -

Oh that has to be one of the most ridiculous statements.Fact:Christie only killed women who were untraceable.Beryl lived at the same place as he did.And why would a father kill his baby daughter for no reason? He strangled her because she was supposed to have left the house with her mother but she kept crying and he didnt know what to do.Look Evans was not very bright and he thought that he could just get rid of things, including people, and then everything would be ok.

You are quite a hostile Knob splash arn't you. I feel it is pointless to continue this discussion with someone who's arrogance transcends his judgement, what is the point of debate if you are always correct.
