captainahab-74387's rating
A very clever blending of Sherlock Holmes and the more or less factual story of Jack the Ripper. John Neville brings a sly, amused quality to Holmes, and is equally good at the dialogue and action scenes.
Donald Houston is wonderful as a somewhat excitable Dr. Watson, who tends to get carried away at times. But always comes through when things get bad.
Somewhat gory, the murder scenes are well staged and the suspense is palpable. The writing is very knowledgeable where both Holmes and The Ripper are concerned, often including real names and details in the otherwise fictional story.
Nice atmosphere, Victorian England is presented pretty convincingly.
Not a great film, but a good one, well worth checking out if you're a Holmes fan or intrigued by the terrible crimes of Jack the Ripper.
