Jack the Ripper is presented here as a brand-new High Definition restoration from original film materials, in its original aspect ratio.
In the autumn of 1888, Chief Inspector Abberline is sent to investigate the murder and mutilation of a prostitute. Others soon meet the same fate, and a press frenzy ensues. With "Jack the Ripper" terrorising London and both police and outraged public clamouring for a conclusion, Abberline and his partner, Godley, work doggedly through their list of suspects more than one of whom has royal connections.

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.
