Man In The Attic (1953)
American Mystery Thriller
After an enigmatic, self-described pathologist rents the attic room of a Victorian house, his landlady begins to suspect her lodger is Jack the Ripper.
Film debut of Lisa Daniels.
Many believe the prime suspect in the murders was Montague John Druitt, a recently discharged teacher at a boys’ school, who committed suicide in the Thames in December 1888. After the discovery of his partially decomposed body, the hunt for the Ripper was ostensibly discontinued.
Man In The Attic is based on the 1913 novel The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes, which fictionalizes the Jack the Ripper killings, and was previously filmed by: Alfred Hitchcock in 1927, by Maurice Elvey in 1932, by John Brahm in 1944, and subsequently by David Ondaatje in 2009.
