Execution of Dr Crippen
The naughty Doctor. That subtitle makes it appear as if it's one of 'The Doctor' comedy films.
Dr Crippen innocent? I don't think so. Dr. Crippen stated that body in the cellar wasn't Cora.Why so confident Dr Crippen? Is it because he disposed of her corpse in another location? Ah, the injustice!
