Biografía:
Sweeney Todd, el barbero diabólico de la calle Fleet -o El barbero demoníaco en otras versiones- es un legendario personaje del Londres Victoriano del siglo XIX, cuya veracidad no ha sido probada. Sirvió de argumento al largometraje inglés del mismo nombre de 1936, dirigido por George King con Tod Slaughter y Stella Rho. Basado en la pieza teatral de Christopher Bond(basada a su vez en los asesinos en serie Bernabé Cabard y Pedro Miquelón), la historia sirvió de inspiración al musical de Stephen Sondheim del mismo nombre.
