The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960)

Second viewing; the first was on August 6, 1996.

Based on the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886.

A scientist with an unfaithful wife discovers a serum which releases a person from social inhibitions, creating in fact a whole new persona for the one who drinks it.

Interesting and thrilling adaptation of the story, with added elements which possibly improve upon its literary source.

Rating: 61 (unchanged)
