A short clip from the 1979 film Murder by Decree, which sees Sherlock Holmes taking on Jack the Ripper.

Christopher Plummer and James Mason make a fine Holmes and Watson, and belong in a better film..

Murder by Decree uses the masonic and royal family conspiracy version of the Ripper murders, which was first glimpsed in this interview with Joseph Sickert.
