Review of The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) by Krista B — 11 Jan 2009
Quite possibly the greatest Jekyll/Hyde film made to date, and certainly one of the best, smartest movies to come out of Hammer Studios. More than just a monster movie, The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll takes time to play with theories of human nature, and explores much deeper, more complex relationships than many other films of the era.
The performances are also excellent. Watching this film, one would never guess that Jekyll and Hyde are actually played by the same actor, and Christopher Lee pulls off a fantastic performance as slimy, womanizing Paul Allen.
One of Hammer's best, Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll is certainly a recommendation.
