The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll Review

Review of The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) by screenqueeen: 👍 4/5

Very pleasantly surprised by this! A great take on Hyde but Jekyll is a little sleepy and one-note, although that's the only thing that really drags this down. Paul Massie tears up the club with Christopher Lee and goes a bit overboard with a candlestick and uncovers a love triangle that was actually just a married-to-the-third-wheel situation, and thus inserts his Mr. Hyde as a new, exciting, and sexually sadistic fourth wheel. Features probably the hottest nightclub in Great Britain in the late 19th century and the nicest old man who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. If this was set in present day 1960 I guarantee this would have beatniks.
