Jack The Ripper: The Ripper (1997)

For our second last week of Jack the Ripper texts, we're checking out made-for-TV movie The Ripper (1997) Starring Patrick Bergin, Gabrielle Anwar, and MVP Samuel West, this version of the story dispenses with the mystery and identifies The Ripper ~22 minutes in. Plus: prioritizing the romance over the investigation, Bergin as a good guy, queer coding, and why we can tell this was helmed by a female director (Janet Meyers). Wanna watch the film?
