The Hangman's Bride is a Canadian historical drama short film, directed by Naomi McCormack and released in 1996.
[5] Reviewing the television broadcast for The Globe and Mail, John Doyle wrote, "Tape this great little film for later and, please, somebody in the TV and film industry let the director make a feature.
The Hangman's Bride is a short, gorgeously made little drama based on the true story of a woman in 1750 Quebec who escaped the gallows by marrying the hangman...Director Naomi McCormack shows great flair employing small filmic resources to startlingly expand a short story.
"[5] Marc Horton of the Edmonton Journal also praised the film as fascinating and well-acted, although he criticized its title for giving away what should have been a surprise twist ending.
