Rating:  - Best of the Ripper
Best of the Ripper lot, with the possible exception of "Murder by Decree".This 2-part TV miniseries from 1988 starring Michael Cain is fast-paced, colorful, well-acted (Cain's at his cockney best) and tense. I have a copy I made 20 years ago and like a fellow reviewer above, can't understand why a Region 1 DVD is so long in coming. This one is a classic!
Rating:  - When will a Region One DVD be made available?
This was a great mini series. It has been almost 20 years and I cannot understand why this has never been released as a Region 1 DVD. I am pretty sure it was a CBS mini series.
Rating: - FAR AND AWAY, THE BEST AND MOST PLAUSIBLE VERSION TO DATE

This is definitely one of Michael Caine's best films, and the best "Ripper" film I've ever seen. "From Hell" included. The only problem with this classic thriller: it's a British-made film, and almost impossible to find. I do not yet have my own copy. I am hoping for a DVD release here in America.
Rating: - Best of the Ripper Lot
Five murders of five prostitutes, taking place in the same area between August 31 and November 9, in 1888. To this day, the case remains officially unsolved. It's notariety is partially because it was the first serial murder case to be sensationalized in the press.
I saw this excellent version of the story when it originally aired on television. David Wickes (London Weekend Television) had done it again. Without getting overly graphic - made for TV, remember - the story of the East ... Read More
