"The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll" (1960) is a British horror film directed by Terence Fisher, loosely based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This film offers a unique interpretation of the classic tale, presenting Dr. Henry Jekyll’s transformation into his evil alter ego, Edward Hyde, in a visually distinct and more psychological manner compared to earlier adaptations.
Plot Summary:
Dr. Henry Jekyll, a well-respected and upstanding scientist, is increasingly frustrated by his inability to escape the constraints of his respectable life. He creates a potion that allows him to transform into Edward Hyde, a younger, more vibrant, and immoral version of himself. As Hyde, he indulges in a life of hedonism and violence, engaging in a series of cruel and reckless acts. However, Jekyll’s inner conflict grows as he becomes increasingly unable to control his transformations, and the lines between his two personas blur. The story unfolds as his darker half, Hyde, begins to take over, leading to tragic consequences for those around him.
Main Characters:
Dr. Henry Jekyll / Edward Hyde (played by Paul Massie): The central character, a respected doctor who grapples with his dual nature. Jekyll's transformation into Hyde represents the conflict between his good and evil sides.
Terry (Sally) / Mrs. Janet (played by Dawn Addams): Jekyll's wife, whose relationship with him is strained, especially as she becomes increasingly aware of his erratic behavior.
Elizabeth (played by 1960): Jekyll's romantic interest, who plays a pivotal role in his downward spiral as Hyde.
Sir George (played by Christopher Lee): A close friend of Jekyll, whose actions drive some of the tensions in Jekyll’s personal life.

This wasn't the best Hammer film by a long way, but my God I still loved it! Like all good wines it's improved with age. I grew up on these movies, and over time they've transcended from being campy romps to genuine cult classics.

"campy romps to cult classics", that's a brilliant description! I watched a Dracula film.yday with the legends that are Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing so the algorithm us recommending more Hammer classics! erm, I mean campy romps 😊

The concept of duality never gets old. It’s amazing how every adaptation finds a new way to explore it. Terence Fisher's take sounds like a bold and unique interpretation!

According to the book Jekill was a old man, he wanted to be a young man and he did experience. In this movie Jekill is younger.

This movie is more dramatic then spooky or intriguing. Most dipictions of this story are more mysterious. Plus more makeup transformations. This one is based more on emotions. I think it’s an interesting film but it’s not as action based so it’s less exciting. You have to realize it’s an era based movie also. It’s their interpretation. Yes it’s slow.

People that do hard drugs will be sorry. That’s when the devil sends minions to take over your bodies and steal your souls. Pray to God and you might get your souls back. But you have to be honest it can’t be lies.

Ican't stand it. Mss. Jekill couldn't recognize her beared husband in Mr. Hyde's Clean face ! was that the only feature that make the difference between the two men?

@PJCCC100 Ай бұрын

Maybe she wasn't noticing so much her husbands caracteristics... or she has some lack of understanding of her surrounings and, really can't tell if the husband is green or red; has big... feet.... ; long ... nose; or... whatever...She just doesn't care. As long as he pays the bills and doesn't bother her with hard 'workouts' or cleanings.... Looks like it's not only on the 21st. Century they come like that... -«Sorry dear, I thought it was you and, after all it was the neighbour.... again... How could I get it wrong for the 27th. time... this month???» LLOOLL

@neilsmith2047 Ай бұрын

Ah. True. Good question.. I guess the old London water sort of addled her recognition circuits. 😂 Great film. Hammer productions, well what can you say. Just really good film. Classic stuff for me anyway. I hope other people enjoy the upload. Thanks to the up loader.

The idea is to watch the movie. If it has comercials/ads in between, too bad. I think one can always pay to avoid that... But who cares to pay if you can watch for free, right? So, the moral of the story: -«If someone gives you an horse, you don't complain about it's teeth» ... It sounds like a fixation on the ads to be taking notes of the times they show up during the movie... There are lots of movies you can hardly hear; others with gaps or bad image; and so on... that's something wrong with the upload, but comercials? What about watch the movie and just deal with the «missing two teeth of the great, beautifull horse that you got for nothing »?... You people complain a lot.... I can imagine when the electric power ends on this planet, or you stop having water on your taps and must go and get it on the river.....
