New Arrival Jack the Ripper (1959)

In 1959, legendary showman Joseph E. Levine unleashed this grisly UK thriller on American moviegoers. But when audiences were horrified by the films startling violence, graphic nudity and bloody Technicolor climax, it became one of Levines most notorious failures. Today in its notorious UK cut and the American version with a brassy new score it remains among the most underappreciated and provocative shockers of its time. Eddie Byrne (THE MUMMY), Lee Patterson (TVs SURFSIDE 6) and John Le Mesurier (DADS ARMY) star in this lurid classic produced/directed by Robert S. Baker & Monty Berman (BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE) and written by Hammer Films legendary Jimmy Sangster (THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, HORROR OF DRACULA) that FilmFracture.com calls the perfect combination of murder mystery and horror film with just the right amount of lovely ladies!
