Trivia:
When Michael Caine's casting was announced, Thames TV's share price broke through the £5 barrier for the first time. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The film implies that Elizabeth Stride was mutilated like all the other women. That is not so; in reality only her throat was cut. The killer was apparently "scared off" before he could inflict his trademark wounds on the body. moreQuotes:
George Lusk: The names Lusk, George Lusk. Chairman of the...Chief Insp. Frederick Abberline: Chairman of the so-called Vigilante committee. I wondered when you were going to show your face!
George Lusk: I'll show you more than a face Abberline! I'll show you a hundred armed men!

Just great!
This is the best TV-production I have ever seen.
First time I saw it at the age of 8, it was awesome. But I could hardly remind.
I have just known that it was a well done movie with a great Atmospher and thrilling suspense.
I bought the film and my expectations were exceeded.
A movie which can take it on with Jack the ripper is "The count of monte christo" with gerade depardieu. It's a trilogy which is also god work.
