Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper (German: Jack the Ripper - Der Dirnenmörder von London, lit. 'Jack the Ripper - The London Prostitute Murderer') is a 1976 West German horror film directed by Jesús Franco, and starring Klaus Kinski, Josephine Chaplin, Andreas Mannkopff, Herbert Fux and Lina Romay. Despite its title, the film is largely re-staged version of Franco's earlier film The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962), with Franco's signature 'Orloff' character filling the historical Jack the Ripper role. This was one of several films Franco made for producer Erwin C. Dietrich during the 1970s. The West German and Swiss co-production was filmed largely in Zurich, and was released on September 23, 1976.
