the Two faces of Dr Jekyll.

Dr Jekyll(Paul Massie) is a dedicated chap who spends his life in his laboratory trying to make a serum that will separate the animal side of man. and is too busy to see that his foxy misses Dawn Addams is off out all the time seeing her fancy man Paul(Christopher Lee). but after taking the potion, ends up as the hedonistic Mr hyde. and buggers off to London to enjoy all the depravity such as can can dancers flashing their knickers and an exotic lady with a snake.

bit of a middle of the road effort this from director Terence Fisher. it's definately worth a watch and has nice sets but it wasen't one of my favorite Hammer films. Lead actor Paul massie was a bit dull in the role to be honest, especially as dr Jekyll were he looks a lot like Abraham lincoln.
Hammer great Chris Lee gives a good turn though as a playboy out gambling and living it up in the whore houses. and redhead Dawn Addams is quite appealing too. And look out for Oliver reed in a small cameo playing a pimp.

not bad, and will still rate it a pretty good 69 out of 100.
