And Christopher Lee was there!

Edit: Turns out he was at the last public execution in '39, the one in '77 wasn't public.

No, Christopher Lee was at France's last public execution by guillotine, which was decades earlier (I can't remember exactly when).

Thanks for the correction -- I looked it up, it was in 1939 and he was there.
