MAN IN THE ATTIC 1953 (MILL CREEK)

Excellent mystery film starring Jack Palance.

Palance is a man who rents a room in a small boarding house and the woman running the place soon starts to suspect he is Jack The Ripper.

Francis Bavier is the woman who suspects him. He falls for a lovely dancer and singer named Lily Bonner played by Constance Smith.

The plot builds up nice and slow and Palance does his usual fantastic job. The ending is very interesting as Palance is never actually caught and it is never proved he was Jack, but you know better after watching. A good film, well directed and the period costumes and sets are outstanding as well.
