Last Man Hanged

Last Man Hanged is a 1993 Australian dramatised documentary film about Ronald Ryan produced by Bill Bennett and written and directed by Lewis Fitzgerald.

Bennett worked with Fitzergald on The Banjo and the Bard and knew Fitzgerald wanted to direct. He told him if Fitzgerald came up with a strong idea Bennett would help it be came. "And he came up with The Last Man Hanged which, perversely, was very, very close to my sensibility," said Bennett. "Apart from the fact that I wanted to help Lewis get his first runs on the board as a director, the story was consistent with things that I'd done to that point. I certainly had a strong hand in the development of the project." ^[1]
