3.0 out of 5 starsHolmes meets the Ripper
By Brit Boy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 7 Jan. 2016
With two characters, one fact, and one fiction, 1965's 'A Study in Terror' took on the interesting concept of what would happen had London's famous super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Dr. Watson gone on the trail of the infamous killing machine Jack the Ripper in London.

Predictably, this is a flawed re-telling of the Ripper case in terms of a factually accurate account, but there is a running comedy element throughout which does make a fairly entertaining film. Personally, I'd say that this was a 'Sherlock Holmes' movie primarily, with the Jack the Ripper elements coming in second. This was the first time that Holmes would encounter Jack, the next would be in 1979 with the superior movie 'Murder by Degree', which benefited from a bigger budget.

John Neville stars as our Holmes, and plays him respectfully, along with Donald Houston as Watson, who is portrayed here as a generous hearted buffoon. Other famous faces in the impressive cast include John Fraser, Anthony Quayle, Robert Morley, and Frank Finley, as well as a young Judy Dench looking lovely, and the soon to be Dame Barbara Windsor in her pre-'Carry On' days as a ridiculous caricature of the Ripper's unfortunate victim Annie Chapman. Ms. Windsor's so-called 'acting' is just as awful as virtually everything I've seen her in, but then that's Babs for you. Thankfully, she isn't in it for very long, and at least the rest of the players do turn in good performances.

The low-budget 'A Study in Terror' certainly falls into a higher category of B movie, and is genuinely atmospheric with it's garish shots of the good Victorian London setting. It's also engaging, fast-paced, and ends with a satisfying conclusion.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsThis is neither a great film about Sherlock Holmes nor Jack the Ripper
By Junius on 3 Jan. 2016
This is neither a great film about Sherlock Holmes nor Jack the Ripper. However, it is reasonably entertaining and keeping the viewer guessing until the end because there are virtually no clues and few credible suspects. Holmes later mentions a clue he spots early on, but if he really did spot it, then he did not act on it to save lives.

Basically, as with all Ripper films, the history is all wrong - here all the victims are young women and none are mutilated (Lestrade hints that one is, but given the time span between her screams and Holmes arriving none would have been possible). Emma Smith is labelled as the first victim when almost certainly she wasn't, there's no Martha Tabram and there's no double event. Characters use the term Ripper before the Dear Boss letter arrives. And so on.

Not a great Holmes mystery - in the final encounter he does not take Watson for assistance whereas he always does, no matter how dangerous or illegal. The obligatory deerstalker and Elementary my dear Watson - completetly uncanonical - are used.

Robert Morley is good as Mycroft and the other actors do reasonably well. ..

It is not bad, but not brilliant either - something one could say about all Ripper films.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat atmosphere and sets
By ADAM BLOXHAM on 5 Mar. 2016
Verified Purchase
Great atmosphere and sets!, Neville looks the part as Holmes but is a more "balanced" and subtle Holmes , the subject matter of the Ripper case is a great idea and although it is a similar plot to "Murder by Decree" I did prefer this version ,the latter containing weird Segway involving Donald Sutherland as a Psychic.Just some minor annoyances stopped it from being five stars ,including the scenes with Barabara Windsor ,who obviously flavour of the day was given a part.I have nothing against Barbara Windsor but just when my mind had drifted to Victorian London I was mentally ripped into a Carry on film "ere guvna" an all that.I still feel it's a worthy film if your a Holmes fan!
