Review – The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll

This Hammer take on the Stevenson classic gets off to an intriguing start. In this version kindly Dr. Jekyll is the physically unattractive one, and Mr. Hyde is handsome actor Paul Massie without makeup. The production takes a few clever twists along the way, such as Hyde’s infatuation with Jekyll’s unfaithful wife. Christopher Lee does a solid job in a supporting role. But after that great start, sadly we end up in familiar territory. Mildly amusing
