Primera versión sonora sobre el mito popular Sweeney Todd, barbero asesino que degollaba y robaba a sus victimas en complicidad con su vecina, la señora Lovett que los hacía desaparecer como pasteles de carne. Adapta la pieza teatral de George Dibdin-Pitt de 1847 a mayor gloria del divo Tod Slaughter, que representó al personaje por más de cuatro mil representaciones y resulta un buen ejemplo del terror puramente británico de los años 30 de siglo XX. En 1979 la historia sería reconvertida en un siniestro y memorable musical por Stephen Sondheim, basado a su vez en una obra precedente de Christopher Bond de 1973.
