    How is the subject of the 1991 film 'Let Him Have It' related to the lyrics of 'Anyone For Tennis' by Cream?

    Question #102824. Asked by BRY2K. (Feb 07 09 9:49 AM)

    		By the name Bentley.

    'Let Him Have It' is a 1991 British film set in 1952 and based on the true story of the case against Derek Bentley, who was hanged for murder under controversial circumstances.

    The second verse of "Anyone For Tennis" goes:

    And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer
    While the beggars stain the pavements with flourescent Christmas cheer
    And the Bentley driving guru is putting up his price
    Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

    Incidently, the film's end titles state that Bentley's sister Iris was still fighting for his pardon, however seven years after the film was made and after numerous unsuccessful campaigns to get Derek Bentley a full pardon, he was posthumously pardoned on 30 July 1998. However, Bentley's sister had also passed away by this point.
