Curiosidades
Joseph E. Levine held a luncheon for major distributors to kick off the campaign for his U.S. release of this film. For this event, he borrowed $1 million in cash which was brought into the room with a cadre of Brinks guards. The cash was to demonstrate to the exhibitors how much he was going to spend in the U.S. to promote the film.

Pifias
Lead actor Lee Patterson sports a Pomaded Elvis Pompador hairstyle throughout the film - very stylish for 1959 (when this film was made) but hardly period accurate for 1888 London...

Citas
Inspector O'Neill: Well, see for yourself. Look at this street. Before this ripper business started, you could hardly move along here. Stalls, barrel organs, people spilling out of the pubs, it was a happy place. Not particularly moral, but happy.

Versiones alternativas
The British version is the Director's version of the movie. There was also a "continental version," which included nudity and more violent murder shots. According to the director's commentary on the Bluray, this was done for purely financial reasons, to get distribution in places that would otherwise be uninterested in it. The continental version ran 88 minutes, includes: a changing room scene with several girls having their breasts exposed; Maggie (Dorinda Stevens) and Hazel (Jane Taylor) join two gentlemen in a private room, then one of these pours champagne over Maggie's chest, and as he kisses the champagne off her chest, her dress is pulled down to expose a breast; Hazel is accosted by the Ripper in an alleyway, her breast is shown, and later there is a shot of her topless corpse; close-up shots of knives and victims faces, and items such as repeated knife thrusts vs. single thrusts, are added to the murder scenes.

A restored treasure with a new music score to present Jack the Ripper!!!

The unsolved case of Jack the Ripper was largely exploited by movie industry, this British production sins a little bit when it offers a conclusion of the real killer, nonetheless brings to screen a decent version at Whitechapel's events with many authentic elements from those days, poorly enlightened narrow streets with dense fog from the chimneys, countless pubs, several burlesque theatre that was used as front to exploit prostitution and so on, here the picture expose a Doctor who asking revenge against Mary Clark who was the woman of an easy life and after discovered her past, Doctor's beloved son committed suicide, meanwhile he wandering for those streets looking for her, but ends up killing many women supposedly prostitutes, the Scotland Yard in charge of all enquires was under pressure to solve the case soon as can, the casting are almost unknown, although had a fine performance, anyway a fine movie restored from a copy found in France and insert another music score, on bonus material has many shoots cut off from the original with many nudes scenes, fantastic!!
