Murder by Decree (1979)
Country: GB/CAN
Technical: Metrocolor 112m
Director: Bob Clark
Cast: Christopher Plummer, James Mason, Anthony Quayle, David Hemmings
Synopsis:
Holmes investigates the Ripper case and comes upon a Masonic conspiracy.
Review:
Muddily photographed and full of tricksy direction - all dissolves and slow motion - this umpteenth version of the Ripper case does not fulfil the promise of its ingenious scenario or its actors. Similar to A Study in Terror (qv.), it also features Frank Finlay.
