Daughter of Dr. Jekyll (1957)

I enjoyed watching "Daughter Of Dr. Jekyll"

[7/10 · 13 June 2007]

I saw this movie when it was originally released in 1957. I was eight years old and I think I was a little frighten when I saw "Daughter Of Dr. Jekyll" on the big screen. I rented the video recently and now I am fifty-eight years old in 2007 and I found the movie to still give me a little bit of chills. I think I understand other reviewers did not like the movie,yet it was a low budget film and I think the performers did it good job. Actress Gloria Talbott did it good job in her role as the daughter of Dr. Jekyll; actor John Agar may have not liked playing his role in the film, but he did not do a bad job. Actress Gloria Talbott plays Janet Smith who discovers she has inherited her late father's estate. She discovers her late father was the infamous Dr. Henry Jekyll;I like the dream sequence where she looks like a vampire on a rampage in the village woods. There is a comical sequence when Dr. Lomas transforms into a werewolf and runs through the village woods and peers in a neighbor's open window and sees a woman in her undergarments putting on her nylon stockings. finally, the hero and heroine help the villagers stop the murderous Dr. Lomas and put a stake in his heart to stop his full moon werewolfism.
