Talking with you about it means i'll definitely be watching it this weekend.
The 2K restoration of the US print will feature footage of the murders & various scenes cut from the UK release print & both are on the Blu for comparison.It's not the definitive 'Ripper' film but it's quite entertaining.My favourite Ripper related films are TIME AFTER TIME, MURDER BY DECREE (With Christopher Plummer as Sherlock Holmes).HANDS OF THE RIPPER & A STUDY IN TERROR.The Ripper episode of NIGHT STALKER with Darren McGavin was one of the best episodes.
