Though much of the legend surrounding London's infamous sex killer of 1888 arises from the continuing mystery of his identity, a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons now claims that the police knew who he was all along. In an article prepared for Criminologist magazine, say London press reports, Thomas Stowell asserts that Scotland Yard kept Jack's identity secret for a peculiarly British reason: the mad murderer came from an aristocratic family.

Scriptwriters Derek and Donald Ford develop a delightfully nasty notion: why,not pit the most famous Victorian detective against the most notorious Victorian criminal-lack the Ripper. The confrontation contains some bloody-awful picture possibilities, and Director James Hill (Born Free) has the wit to explode them as he exploits them.
