The positive note at the end of the story is the redeeming factor in the film. The hangman may not keep the cash registers ringing but it is most poignant and tugs at your heart strings. If you love good cinema, dont miss this one.

It is a long-delayed film but one that comes with its own baggage of silent merit. "The Hangman" hinges on a rather heart-wrenching irony.
