Trivia:
The sequence involving the killing of Annie Rowley was judged to be so well done that studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck ordered it placed at the beginning of the picture. Actress Helena Pickard's face was not shown so that it became a simple matter of re-dubbing the dialog so that she is addressed as "Katie." moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene at the Black Museum, Inspector Warwick mentions the "four murders" but by this point in the film there have been five. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Old Cockney Man: [reading poster] "Murders being committed in our midst. Police inadequate. We intend offering a substantial reward to anyone, citizen or otherwise, who shall give information bringing the murderer or murderers to justice." Hmm.

This is a great Victorian melodrama. Everything about this film is superb. The late Laird Cregar is just outstanding in the title role and Merle Oberon has never looked lovelier It's funny how you can see a film when you are about twelve years old and it sticks in your brain because it is so good and this one is one of the best. I highly recommend this film.
