Lulu (1980)

Based on stories by Frank Wedekind, this undistinguished erotic film recounts the sexual exploits of free-spirited Lulu (Ann Bennent) as she goes from one lover to the next. First she becomes involved with an artist and then eventually with an important editor (Heinz Bennent) who unsuccessfully tries to get out of her clutches. Lulu’s biggest mistake is to be in London just when Jack the Ripper is making his scalpel-wielding presence known among the prostitutes of that city.
