''Man in the Attic'' is a 1953 mystery film directed by Hugo Fregonese, and starring Creator/JackPalance, Constance Smith and Byron Palmer. It was released in the United States on December 23 by Twentieth Century Fox. The movie is based on the 1913 novel ''Literature/TheLodger'' by Marie Belloc Lowndes, which fictionalizes the UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper killings.
London, 1888: on the night of the third Jack the Ripper killing, soft-spoken Mr. Slade, a research pathologist, takes lodgings with the Harleys, including a gloomy attic room for "experiments." Mrs. Harley finds Slade odd and increasingly suspects the worst; her niece Lily (star of a decidedly Parisian stage revue) finds him interesting and increasingly attractive. Is Lily in danger, or are her aunt's suspicions merely a red herring?
