The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll

In wild London of 1874, a reclusive scientist obsessively studies human nature while his alluring wife is having a questionable relationship with a smooth gambler. The sudden appearance of suave Edward Hyde shakes everything up. Released in 1960-1961, "The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll” is the second of three Hammer films inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous story “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Paul Massie is really only competent here as physician "Dr. Jekyll" who is becoming increasingly frustrated by the rather linear approach taken by modern science to the issue of the human psyche.
