This is one of the biggest classics that I saw when I was younger. Perhaps at the time when it came out in 1960 it was a big hit. Today it feels a little phony and not as scary as it probably once did to the older baby boomer population.

In 1888, Jack the Ripper is on his killing spree. Scotland Yard Inspector O'Neill is pleased to welcome to London his old friend Sam Lowry, a New York City detective who has come to visit him and is only too happy to help out with the case. Sam becomes attracted to Anne Ford, a modern woman for the age, but her guardian, Dr. Tranter doesn't quite approve. The good doctor also seems to be out when the Ripper murders occur. As the population edge ever loser to taking the law into their own hands, the police slowly close in the killer.

Release date: 26 April 1960

"A serial killer is murdering women in the Whitechapel district of London. An American policeman is brought in to help Scotland Yard solve the case. A rather dull Ripper movie which adds an American policeman to the story. Although things do pick up in the last 20 mins or so by then I had lost interest.
