The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) is a Hammer Films movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows Dr. Jekyll experimenting on the good and bad within people. As he experiments on himself he experiences random twitches where sometimes he's good and sometimes he's bad but it turns him into almost completely two different people. How will this impact his coworkers, friends and family?

This movie is directed by Terence Fisher (Horror of Dracula) and stars Paul Massie (Orders to Kill), Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings), Dawn Addams (The Hour of 13), Norma Marla (The Ugly Duckling), Francis De Wolff (From Russia with Love) and David Kossoff (Chance Meeting).

The storyline for this is just okay and I think I prefer Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde over two Dr. Jekyll's. I will say the ending twist is great as is the final scene - Perfectly executed and something I never saw coming. The belly dancer in this is gorgeous (Norma Marla) and Christopher Lee delivers an amazing performance creating a worthwhile subplot. The horror elements were minimal, and the mustache and beard in this is horrendous. The scene where he pushes and bullies the girl was a bit much and hard to watch.

Overall, this is far from one of Hammer Films best movies but it was worth a watch. I would score this a 6/10.
