Although it&#8217;s based on the unsolved Jack the Ripper killings which plagued turn-of-the-century London, the Ripper&#8217;s actual victims (prostitutes in real life) have been turned into actresses here; indeed, the infamous killings seem more like an atmospheric plot device than anything else, since, as Peary notes, &#8220;we&#8217;re never given 100% proof that [Cregar] is the one and only Ripper&#8221;, thus leaving things open to interpretation. I&#8217;ll admit to a preference for Brahm, Cregar, and Sanders&#8217; next outing together &#8212; the &#8220;even more stylized&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=1615\"><em>Hangover
