Ruling Class, The (Special Edition)

Peter O'Toole gives a tour de force performance as Jack, a man "cured" of believing he's God, only to become Jack the Ripper incarnate. Based on Peter Barnes' irreverent play, this darkly comic indictment of Britain's class system peers behind the closed doors of English aristocracy. Insanity, sadistic sarcasm, and black comedy -- with just a touch of the Hollywood musical -- are all featured in this beloved cult classic directed by Peter Medak. The Criterion Collection is proud to present "The Ruling Class" restored to its original full-length version, which has never before been available in the United States.

Subtitled for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Peter Medak's home movies, shot on the set of "The Ruling Class", Audio Commentary, Trailers.
