When Watson reads from the newspaper there have been two similar murders near Whitechapel in a few days, Sherlock Holmes' sharp deductive mind is immediately stimulated to start its merciless method of elimination after observation of every apparently meaningless detail. He guesses right the victims must be street whores, and doesn't need long to work his way through a pawn shop, an aristocratic family's stately home, a hospital and of course the potential suspects and (even ...

Full Plot Details

When Watson reads from the newspaper there have been two similar murders near Whitechapel in a few days, Sherlock Holmes' sharp deductive mind is immediately stimulated to start its merciless method of elimination after observation of every apparently meaningless detail. He guesses right the victims must be street whores, and doesn't need long to work his way through a pawn shop, an aristocratic family's stately home, a hospital and of course the potential suspects and (even unknowing) witnesses who are the cast of the gradually unraveled story of the murderer and his motive.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe horror/suspense tale looks good in Technicolor and art director Alex Vetchinsky creates an atmospheric smoky Whitechapel setting.
User Review - 8/10 by Raul VA great romp that somehow manages to not be camp and even seeming quite forward-thinking in its execution at times. A brilliant cast (John Neville!) and a fabulous score round up a thoroughly enjoyable mystery!
User Review - 8/10 by mirabella 1One of my faves...Jack the Ripper meets Sherlock Holmes. Starring Anthony Quayle, Robert Morley & Barbara Windsor. It is a cracking good film. I actually have the original 1965 movie poster for this. I should take a pic & post it on my page.
User Review - 6/10 by Andy FJohn Neville takes his turn as Sherlock Holmes (and Donald Houston is Watson) in this rather middling adventure. It isn't that the film is bad, it's just that we've seen Holmes so many many times before (and since) and nothing much stands out from this new portrayal. The case, however, is new (but not unfamiliar): Holmes and Watson strive to identify and to capture Jack the Ripper. The Victorian era and the Whitehall district of London are rendered suitably but unimaginatively - there is something dull about the mise-en-scene too, although it ticks the usual boxes (music hall/boisterous pub, prostitutes in allies, hansom cabs, period costumes). The script tosses up a few red herrings (and young Judi Dench!) but it isn't too hard to figure out the culprit before he is apprehended by Holmes. This is, by the standards of the day, a fine B-grade time-waster but I'll take Rathbone and Bruce any day over these pale imitations!

User Review - 6/10 by Nate AThere are better Holmes movies out there, but this one isn't bad.
User Review - 6/10 by Johnson YEntertaining if you compared with the technology then
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DA total disregard for facts, but a great adaption of a real life mystery with plenty of entertainment.
