Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Man in the Attic is a 1953 mystery film directed by Hugo Fregonese, and starring Jack Palance, 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 The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes, which fictionalizes the Jack the Ripper 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?

Artistic License – History: The murders committed in this movie do not match up to ones historically committed by Jack the Ripper.

Bat Scare: While searching the roof for Jack the Ripper, a constable hears a noise and peers round the side of a doorway, only for flock of pigeons to fly out at him.

Better to Die than Be Killed: On realising he is cornered by the police, Slade chooses to walk slowly down the steps into the Thames and drown himself rather than be caught.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Slade literally kicks Harley's dog, which has been lovingly following him around ever since he joined the household, to drive it away from while he burns his bloodstained Ulster. From this point on, the dog goes from being slavishly devoted to him to afraid of him.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: One first meeting Slade, Lily immediately senses he is a troubled and lonely soul and immediately becomes attracted to him. He turns out to be Jack the Ripper.
