Review of Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde (1971) by Tristan P — 12 Jul 2008
Excellent latter day Hammer gothic with an "everything including the kitchen sink" mentality: you've got a transgender Jekyll/Hyde thing, a Jack the Ripper angle, AND a Burke and Hare angle. Wow!
Ralph Bates was likable but never really much of an actor (it's hard to believe Hammer ever believed Ralph Bates and Mike Raven could be the new Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee...), and he's really about average here. The show belongs to the gorgeous Martine Beswick, who I really wish had been in more Hammer films (and more horror films in general).
A bizarre classic.
