Review of The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) by Scott R — 12 Oct 2013
Not a bad take on the story despite the only visual change that took place in the character was a loss of his beard. Then he became primitive and carnal, something that was more believable than the crazy "hulk" forms that other movies portray. Perhaps this is more like the book, I just need to get around to reading it.
They also had some fascinating characters and scenes in lee, his wife, the many tramps Hyde chased, the snake dancing and the "moulin rouge" dancing they filmed. These and other scenes must have been racy for the day. The film on the whole was rather melodramatic and the whole beard thing and voice change was distracting. I would classify it as campy.
