The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll*       

(GB 1960)

In this unpleasant variation on the old story Hyde is the more attractive of the two, taking revenge on his unfaithful wife whilst her dull husband Jekyll is a disgraced physician. Next to none of the main characters has any redeeming features, and central performance is rather bland. Despite the elaborate settings, it proved to be an expensive failure for Hammer.
