Sally Brown: [laughing, coming out of the Hole, with forced vivacity] Oh this fresh air is grand!
John: Now you must tell me your price.
Sally Brown: You fancy me, eh? Mmm.
John: [whispering in her ear] I'd like to make love in the Grecian way.
Sally Brown: You vulgar old rogue!
[pushes him]
Sally Brown: Away with you! All the crown's jewels couldn't buy that. Get out of my sight, you knave!
The cinematography is generally good. The editing and pace are decidedly unamerican, and will turn off mainstream audiences. the film proceeds at a steady pace, but features dialog which is more oriented toward driving the plot than elaborating the characters. The cast is pretty uneven, but strong support comes from Menkopff, Chaplin and Fux. Kinski's role, though not much of a challenge for him, is interpreted with the great actor's usual intensity. The sets, though not particularly London, and a tad anachronistic at times, are detailed and enjoyable in their own right.
What the film does successfully - and again, it's not all Kinski - is to create a tense and disturbing atmosphere, punctuated with occasionally graphic scenes of sexual and bloody violence. Along the way, the director presents an interpretation of Jack the Ripper which is straight out of Freudian pop psychology. The effect is powerful, and the film is memorable. Perhaps Franco's best work, though I've not seen them all (for good reason!)
