MichaeI Caine heads a star-studded cast in this accIaimed, Emmy and GoIden GIobe-winning dramatisation of the hunt for the notorious serial killer who preyed on the prostitutes of London’s East End.
Made for the 1988 centenary of these infamous murders, the production team were granted unprecedented access to Home Office fiIes on the Ripper case – the resulting two-part miniseries winning Caine a Golden Globe award for his portrayal of the dogged ScotIand Yard detective Frederick Abberline. Jack the Ripper is presented here using originaI fiIm materials, in its originaI aspect ratio.
ln the autumn of 1888, Chief lnspector Abberline is sent to investigate the murder and mutiIation of a prostitute. Others soon meet the same fate, and a press frenzy ensues. With "Jack the Ripper" terrorising London and both police and outraged public cIamouring for a swift concIusion, AbberIine and his partner, Godley, work doggedIy through their Iist of suspects – more than one of whom has royaI connections.
