Hands of the Ripper is a 1971 British horror film directed by Peter Sasdy for Hammer Film Productions. It is set in London in Edwardian times, and stars Angharad Rees as Anna, a vulnerable young woman who is exploited by her guardian (Dora Bryan), a medium, and haunted by the subconscious memory of her mother's murder by her father - Jack the Ripper. She is taken in by a Freudian psychiatrist (Eric Porter), who is determined to find out the cause of her by-now-murderous impulses. The film also stars Jane Merrow, Keith Bell and Derek Godfrey. The film was an early film for Angharad Rees. Later in the 1970s, she appeared with Robin Ellis, Ralph Bates, and an all star cast in the BBC TV series Poldark. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios, with some location work at St. Paul's Cathedral, London. When the film was shown on American television, several excessively gory scenes were removed, and the film's running time was padded out with added scenes of a psychiatrist (played by Severn Darden) narrating the "fictional" events of the film to several reporters in 1945, purportedly to prove some theory about human behaviour. LESS
