Hammer Films' pulls the old switcheroo with this loose adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novella, featuring the bland Dr. Jekyll (Paul Massie) as a bearded, not-too handsome fellow and Mr. Hyde (also Massie) as a slick, good-looking charmer with a murderous way with the ladies.

Prioritize:
The British production The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll is an example of how not to treat a classic. It is slow and unimaginative, in a way that shows the moviemakers simply went through the motions. Hammer Film Productions was known for taking a slightly different approach to horror, more overt for its time, although none of that came through in The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll.
