Man in the Attic (1953)
The Life...The Loves...The Crimes of Jack the Ripper!
Starring Jack Palance, Constance Smith, Byron Palmer
Directed by Hugo Fregonese
London, 1888: on the night of the third Jack the Ripper killing, soft-spoken Mr. Slade, a research pathologist, takes lodgings with the Harleys, including a gloomy attic room for 'experiments.' Mrs. Harley finds Slade odd and increasingly suspects the worst; her niece Lily (star of a decidedly Parisian stage revue) finds him interesting and increasingly attractive. Is Lily in danger, or are her mother's suspicions merely a red herring?
