Doubtless that was the image intended. Victorian Limehouse and Whitechapel were areas with large numbers of Jewish people so a monster of sorts stalking the streets would have fit in with Golem mythology. Nothing stopping you checking it out, my take is only that.
If you haven't seen Murder By Decree then I'd recommend it as a much better film. Christopher Plummer, James Mason and Donald Sutherland are just three of the excellent cast.
