Very Thorough Glimpse at Glimpses of Jack the Ripper,
By
This review is from: Jack the Ripper: The Murders and the Movies (Paperback)
Denis Meilke has managed to make a very thorough examination of the myriad and varied appearances of Jack the Ripper in movies and television quite an entertaining book. This is a remarkable feat as he details every thing from the times "Ripper" is used in the title of a direct-to-video motion picture to make the mere suggestion of Jack the Ripper to the times when the historical figure makes the bizarre leap into the future on a television show, such as his appearance on the original Star Trek, as well, of course, on the movies based directly on the actual crimes, such as From Hell. Through all of this, the author gives descriptions of the movies, both as entertainment and as ways of seeing the true history of the crimes. The reader will learn much of interest and be amused by the author's opinions.
