Best Performances of the Month April | 1944 | Merle
Budget 800,000 USD
Merle Oberon fell in love with the film's cinematographer, Lucien Ballard, and they married the following year. Because of facial scars Oberon sustained in a car accident, Ballard developed a unique light for her that washed out any signs of her blemishes. The device is known to this day as the Obie (not to be confused with the Off-Broadway award).
There is a real Black Museum (now called the Crime Museum) at Scotland Yard. It officially came into existence in 1875 and has a police inspector and a police constable assigned to official duty there. It is not open to the public, but can be visited by police officers from any of the country's police forces by appointment.
Laird Cregar's screen presence and performance created such a sensation that Twentieth Century-Fox planned to cash in on its find by putting him in similar roles in other productions. The first of these was Hangover Square (1945), which re-united director John Brahm, screenwriter Barré Lyndon and co-star George Sanders. The plans were cut short after Cregar had a fatal heart attack at the end of the year. "Hangover Square" would be released after his death.
One of the first movies to have a point of view shot showing the killer's perspective.
The movie was later remade by 20th Century Fox as Man in the Attic (1953), starring Jack Palance as Slade. The remake was released under Fox's Panoramic Productions label. Barré Lyndon's screenplay was updated for the remake by Robert Presnell Jr., and Hugo Friedhofer's music score was also re-used. The remake was shot on the same sets and utilized footage from this film of the London police pursuing Jack the Ripper through the streets and over the rooftops.
"Slade: Haven't you enough men at your feet already?"
"Slade: You wouldn't think that anyone could hate a thing and love it too. Kitty Langley: You can't love and hate at the same time. Slade: You can! And it's a problem then..."
