The Life...The Loves...The Crimes of Jack the Ripper!

Overview

London, 1888: on the night of the third Jack the Ripper killing, soft-spoken Mr. Slade, a research pathologist, takes lodgings with the Harleys, including a gloomy attic room for "experiments." Mrs. Harley finds Slade odd and increasingly suspects the worst; her niece Lily (star of a decidedly Parisian stage revue) finds him interesting and increasingly attractive. Is Lily in danger, or are her mother's suspicions merely a red herring?

    Jack Palance is "Slade", a curiously enigmatic stranger who takes rooms in the home of the "Harley" family. It's at the height of the paranoia in Victorian London surrounding the "Jack the Ripper" killings and as our story develops, both "Mrs. Harley" (Frances Bavier) and the audience begin to suspect that our reclusive visitor may well have a secret to keep. Those suspicions only intensify when he takes a shine to her actress niece "Lily" (Constance Smith) and we really do wonder if she is soon to be toast, too! Hugo Fregonese does manage to build a little menace into this: the dark eerie set...
