    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 c...( read more)omplex 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.

    Gorgeous Technicolour makes late 19th century London and women´s clothes dazzle, and suave Hyde makes suitably repulsive villain.

    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, sophist...( read more)icated 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

    Nice little twist on the story that is quite known. We don't get the usual hideously deformed creature of super strength, instead it's a more cleaned up social version of dr. jekyll. Overall, it was a good movie probably not the best hammer film to start out with.
