Jack the Ripper (1959)

Good - But I Didn't Like The Ending

The ending places Anne Ford locked in a room when Mary Kelly is murdered  and her "heroic" American boyfriend (of sorts) Sam Lowry rushes in as Jack the Ripper who, was after Anne next, rushes out the window! Why have an Anne Ford and a Sam Lowry in this film? They were never a part of the real story to begin with and for Lowry to be "heroic" with Miss Ford is a crazy idea.  Outside of this mess of an ending, the rest of the film is a good watch - very atmospheric - I just didn't like the way they ended it.

Apparently, in this work of fiction, it is Sir David Rogers to be blamed for the murders - another character created just for this film.

6.5/10
