Review of The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) by Kimber M — 13 Sep 2008
As with all Hamer flicks, this was an interesting interpretation. The thing that bothered me about it was that I think it borrowed a bit too heavily from "Portrait of Dorian Gray" for it's examination of Hyde. It was definitely against type to portray Hyde as the suave, sophisticated villian, but it's been done and better. I liked that we weren't subjected to a 60s version of the transformation. It's unecessary, and in this case would really have taken away from the shock value.
Lastly, it was odd to see Christopher Lee as anything other than the bad guy/ monster. LOL.
