Review of The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll

I saw this movie at the cinema when I was a teen. I thought (and still do) that Paul Massie was unconvincing in the title role. It was billed as a horror movie but where was the horror? And what was Hammer thinking? They had Christopher Lee in the movie and although he was very good in the role (very sleazy as Dawn Adams' lover).... why wasn't he given the lead? What a difference this film would have been. One had to wait for Lee to play it in "I, Monster."

Dawn Adams was excellent..... and what a beautiful woman...

Not one of the best Hammer movies but well worth a watch, especially for the snake charmer scene. Erotic.

It is not the usual Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde and it does have some class and is generally well acted.
