"Solution" is Anything But
Produced in 1980 and based on the late Stephen Knight's book of the same name, "Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution" is anything but. The entire crux of the arguments put forward by Knight started with an interview of the grandson of a Whitechapel artist in 1973. This interview led to the astounding deduction that Prince Albert Victor,heir to the throne of England, had secretly married a common Catholic girl who bore him a child. Mrs. Duke of Clarence was then put away in an asylum and her confederates (five east end prostitutes) murdered by the Queen's personal physician, Sir William Gull, in a masonic conspiracy and coverup that makes Watergate look like a Brady Bunch episode. This very amateur production consists largely of narrator Ray McGregor sitting across the desk from Stephen Knight as Knight recounts his "research" leading up to his theory of Royal conspiracy.
