The Best Adaptation Ever Made With Stella Performances
Who better to lead the hunt for Jack The Ripper than Sir Michael Caine,there are two versions on the Bluray,the original 4.3 aspect as was originally seen and a new 16.9 widescreen version,the 16.9 version is wonderful and now in full H.D you can appreciate the size and scope that this production involved. The late Lewis Collins gives a stella performance as Michael Caines partner in solving the great mystery and when the final climax arrives it is well worth the wait.A wonderful transfer with new 5.1 DTS HD Master surround that sound incredible.A must have for anyone who has ever wondered just who was JACK THE RIPPER.
