Profile of The Executioner's Song
The Executioner's Song can be described as thought provoking, bleak, and tense. The plot revolves around death row, going straight, and prison life. The main genres are drama and crime. In approach, The Executioner's Song is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, in a prison. It is located in Utah. The Executioner's Song is drawn from a biography, originally a true story, and based on a book. The movie has received attention for being critically acclaimed.
Summary of The Executioner's Song
Based on Norman Mailer's novel, this version contains scenes of nudity and violence that were added later (the film was originally an NBC miniseries). With chilling neutrality it tells the story of multiple murderer Gary Gillmore, who demanded the death penalty rather than spend his life in prison.
