Anecdotes
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.

Gaffes
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...

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.

Autres versions
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.

the continental version

In the 50s and 60s British film producers made 2 versions of their films.One the version that would be shown in UK cinemas and the other for more broadminded tastes the other side of the channel.So about half way through the film in the music hall the dancers have just finished the can can.They go back to their dressing room.They start talking in French ,with English subtitles,and all the dancers are undressed.This goes on for the next 5 minutes or so till the next murder.I have often pondered what happened to the continental versions and here some enterprising soul has cut the relevant scenes into the film.It certainly livens it up as it is not one of the better Ripper films,since it deals with it as a who dunnit.The final scenes with the lift though are the most effective part of the film.
