Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Dr. Henry Jekyll is a dull, bookish scientist who spends more time with his lab animals testing theories of alternate personalities than with his beautiful, young wife. Kitty Jekyll has given up trying to find any passion in her distant, preoccupied husband and is involved in an affair with one of Jekyll's old 'friends,' Paul Allen, a weak slacker and wastrel who relies on Jekyll to pay his numerous gambling debts. After experimenting on himself, the bearded, tweedy Jekyll transforms himself into the young, dynamic, and self-confidant Edward Hyde. In his new character he befriends Allen, who has no idea that this clean-cut, handsome playboy prone to outbursts of violence is really Jekyll. As Hyde, he encourages Allen to introduce him to the dark underbelly of London's night life including opium dens and sex clubs, where he begins an affair with the sensual courtesan Maria, an exotic dancer and snake charmer. When he tries to seduce Allen's mistress, in reality his own wife, he is frustrated to find she prefers her decadent lover to him. Written by duke 1029@aol.com |

| Movie Connections | Featured in The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll (1986). See more » |
| Crazy Credits | Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of the novella that this film was based on, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), was never mentioned in its credits. Because Stevenson's novella was already in the public domain by that time and because Stevenson himself was long since dead (he had died in 1894), Hammer obviously felt no obligation to mention him in them at all.

Dr. Henry Jekyll:
[to Litauer]
This moral quibbling is useless. Man as he is comprises two beings: one of whom I call man as he could be. In his perfection this inner man is beyond good and evil. Dr. Ernst Littauer: And the other man? Dr. Henry Jekyll: He, too, is beyond good and evil - man as he would be... free of all the restictions society imposes on us... subject only to his own will.
