Cult Director Bob Clark (A Christmas Story, etc.) Helmed this somewhat Elaborate Film.
With a Decent Budget (around $4 mil.) a Line-Up of some British Top-Actors (Christoper Plummer, James Mason, John Guilgud, Anthony Quayle) along with Donald Sutherland, Genvieve Bujold, and Susan Clark.
Clark Used Imaginative and Expansive Sets in the Atmospheric Production, Steeped in Dense London Fog. Dank, Dark, and Scary.
Set in the Familiar World of Jack the Ripper's White Chapple, the Film is Populated with a Number of Interesting and Varied Characters.
Not Only Holmes (Plummer) and Watson (Mason) Delivering Their Charming and Personal Preferences to the Roles,
but the Unfortunate Ladies of the Street (Susan Clarke), a Psychic (Sutherland), Members of the Upper-Class (Scotland Yard with Lestrade and Others, Doctors, Political Leaders, and the Central Conspiracy Theory Involving the Ruling Class and the Masons.
The Story is Complex and Involving.
Clark Includes Horror Elements that Start very Subtle but Evolve Gradually to some Truly Horrific Scenes.
The Wrap has Holmes Lecturing Non-Stop for About 15 Min. To those He Knows were the Perpetrators who Hide and Stand Behind Holmes Difficulty in PROVING what He Knows.
Note...Other Films of connective qualities..."A Study In Terror" (1965)...Time After Time (1979)..."From Hell" ( 2009).
