The Two Faces Of Dr. Jekyll. 1960.

Hammer's underrated movies based on Robert Louis Stevenon classic tale with Paul Massie in the dual role of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde. Different from other adaptations that have been done, Hyde is usually portrayed as a tough monstrous brute but in this he is shown to be a charming spoken gentleman yet Jekyll is the rough spoken beard mad doctor. Christopher Lee is the old friend always in dept and Mrs Jekyll's lover and has plenty of screen time and never disappoints. The film is also interesting in how it chose to end the saga. Instead of following the book, it chooses a very novel approach to winning the struggle between Jekyll and Hyde. Certainly worth a watch.
