The character of "Long Liz", played by Lynda Baron in this film, was the nickname of 19th century prostitute Elizabeth Stride - one of the five canonical Ripper victims.

Director Peter Sasdy is also known for directing 1970's Taste the Blood of Dracula and 1971's Countess Dracula as well as three episodes of the Hammer House of Horror television series.
