Lot of 7 (seven) vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby cards from the 1950's British horror film JACK THE RIPPER, released in the US in 1959 by Paramount Pictures. In Victorian London, a serial killer is murdering women in the Whitechapel district and an American policeman is brought in to assist Scotland Yard in the case. This lot consists of 7 lobby cards (from the complete set of 8 cards) and features various scenes of debauchery with card #7 depicting a shot of a lone woman coming upon a man standing in the dark and staring at her. These US lobby cards were used to promote the film when it was shown theatrically in Quebec, Canada and they all have a Canadian sensor stamp on them. Printed for the film's original US release by Paramount Pictures, the lobby cards are all unrestored and range from near-fine to fine+ condition with varying signs of wear and/or pinholes in the borders. Unlike his other negative pick-ups, Joseph E. Levine (who presented the US version) did not have to dub this film into English for the US release, although he did replace the original Stanley Black score with a more dynamic score by Jimmy McHugh and Pete Rugolo. Levine held a luncheon for major distributors to kick off the campaign for his US release of this film. For this event, he borrowed $1 million in cash, which was brought into the room with a cadre of Brinks guards. The cash was to demonstrate to the exhibitors how much he was going to spend in the US to promote the film. It was well remembered by horror and thriller fans from this period. The massive advertising campaign generated huge ticket sales and a high number of holdover dates. But, according to Levine, the film was a failure in the US He claimed, "We dropped dead in every one! You'd think somewhere, a small town maybe, someplace, it would have done business. But no. That's a record they'll never come close to."
