A novel idea, from Karl Alexander and Steve Hayes, has Jack the Ripper David Warner flee into current day San Francisco in HG Welles' time machine; the writer (Malcom McDowell) goes after him. Fish out of water episodes are quite fun - Welles ('Herbert') is romanced by bank clerk Mary Steenburgen (it was her second film after Goin' South). Not the best directed film, I feel. Special effects are cute.
Edited by Donn Cambern (Easy Rider, the Last Picture Show... well, received credit for that, didn't actually cut it), good late score from Miklos Rozsa, photographed by Paul Lohmann.
McDowell and Warner good - always great to see the latter in films of this period.
