On DVD: Murder By Decree
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079592/
This is an old Sherlock Holmes film with Christopher Plummer as Holmes and James Mason as Watson tracking down Jack The Ripper -- or is it...
I rather liked the Plummer & Mason duo and their take on the characters. The director is the same one who did the better known A Christmas Story. The film feels very much like a Made-for-TV Movie, but then many of the films from the late 70's feel and look like that.
This film was remade as From Hell with Johnny Depp and Robbie Coltrane. As might be expected the blood level has been increased but it too is an entertaining film. Jack the Ripper has been a good villain for several films including the HG Wells take off Time After Time.
