- AnecdotesJoseph 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.
- GaffesLead 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.
- Versions alternativesThe 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.

Jack the Ripper (1959)
** (out of 4)
Atmospheric and moody version of the infamous serial killer. This isn't quite as good as the version with Klaus Kinski but it remained entertaining throughout. The director does a great job building up the atmosphere of 1888 London but for some strange reason he never pushes the "mystery" surrounding the case. He throws a lot of suspects at us but for some reason he never tries to build up a mystery film as to who the killer is. There's a big twist at the end, which makes one think the film is going to do something with it but it never does. I'm not exactly sure what the filmmakers were going for but the movie still works.
