Though top-billed Christopher Lee, portraying a caddish playboy, was the beneficiary of all the ad publicity, it is Paul Massie who plays Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Pride He certainly has no care for his "evil" actions... though one suspects that not even Nietzsche would support these "bad" actions destroying those around him. In still another departure from the Stevenson original, Jekyll becomes Hyde not because he can't control his alter ego, but because he wants to exact revenge on Christopher Lee, who has been siphoning off Jekyll's savings to finance his own gambling and womanizing. With Paul Massie, Dawn Addams, Christopher Lee, David Kossoff.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, novella by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, published in 1886. | Rating: 3.5/4 ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi While not actually scary, The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll has some pretty salty talk (by 60s standards anyway) and some, uh... unexpected goings on that were depicted in not such vague and ambiguous ways that Hollywood had done up to then.

I watched this with my aunt, Sleepykiss. Hyde then sets fire to the laboratory as police arrive. In contrast to Stevenson's story, Jekyll/Hyde does not die--though the strain of being Hyde has permanently scarred Jekyll's psyche. She's wearing spankies,that look like they're woven from deep blue anodized aluminum. Don’t worry, it won’t take long. The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll is as silly and nasty a piece as Hammer and Terence Fisher have turned out which is saying something.
Romance Jekyll's tragedy in this unique Stevenson revamp is that he doesn't understand that much of humanity already lives a Jekyll-and-Hyde existence -- including his unfaithful bride, who is a 'perfect wife' by day and a 'perfect mistress' by night. Just confirm how you got your ticket.Fandango

One of the top-shelf Hammer horror films, and probably the most perpetually undervalued.
The more I see this man in action, the more I see what the generation before me saw.
Think Joseph Cotten in Shadow of a Doubt.
We want to hear what you have to say but need to verify your account. Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll was originally released in Britain as House of Fright. Possibly what I love best about this movie is that Mr. Hyde wasn't portrayed as some grunting monster in 20 pounds of make-up, but rather a charming gentleman that passed for an everyday person -- a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Directed by Terence Fisher. They're as abbreviated and super form-fitting as a French-cut bikini bottom, and the director lets us get several really good, close looks. Wow. Oh, and of course Terence Fisher's (as always) magnificent direction. View All Photos (3)
After declaring Dr. Jekyll responsible for the crimes, Hyde tries to leave the building, but at the last minute Jekyll fights him from the inside and takes over again. I refer you to her review. I've praised Lee in "Scream of Fear", but he should be praised no less in this, where he's a convincingly sleazy gambler and womanizer. There's the portrayal of Hyde as younger, more handsome and more charming... not the monster he's usually shown to be. | Rating: 3/5 Dr. Henry Jekyll experiments with scientific means of revealing the hidden, dark side of man and releases a murderer from within himself.
