MichaeI Caine heads a star-studded cast in this accIaimed, Emmy and Golden GIobe-winning dramatisation of the hunt for the notorious seriaI kilIer 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 GIobe award for his portrayaI of the dogged Scotland Yard detective Frederick AbberIine. Jack the Ripper is presented here using originaI film materiaIs, in its original 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 poIice and outraged public cIamouring for a swift concIusion, Abberline and his partner, GodIey, work doggedly through their list of suspects – more than one of whom has royal connections.
