Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype

Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype is a 1980 American comedy-drama horror romance film directed by Charles B. Griffith, starring Oliver Reed as Dr. Henry Heckyl/Mr. Hype and Sunny Johnson as Coral Careen. The film is a reversal of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story, about a malformed doctor who drinks a potion and becomes a handsome (and violent) ladies' man. With a script that ran to 200 pages, Griffith had to make significant changes to the story, and the film was ultimately released on cable television due to production issues.
