The Monster of London City (de|'''Das Ungeheuer von London-City''') is a 1964 West German krimi crime film directed by Edwin Zbonek and starring Hansjörg Felmy, Marianne Koch, and Dietmar Schönherr.[1]
The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Jürgen Kiebach and Ernst Schomer. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in Berlin and on location around London.
A series of Jack the Ripper-style murders take place in contemporary London, leaving Scotland Yard baffled. Coincidentally, a new play about Jack the Ripper is opening in London at the time, and the lead actor who plays Jack becomes a suspect in the real-life killings.
