Editorial Reviews

Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Henry Jekyll is a troubled man. His wife died of pneumonia. He wants his sister-in-law, but her father forbids any contact. And his experiments into the dual nature of man have yielded a personality-splitting drug that he has tested on himself, changing him into an uninhibited brute who seeks violent and undignified pleasures. Jekyll quickly becomes addicted to the sordid freedom induced by the drug. He can commit the most enjoyably revolting deeds, then return to his laboratory and use an antidote to change back to his original form, so that his lofty persona remains untarnished. But Jekyll's forbidden affair with his sister-in-law becomes a scandal, and with the growing rage within him, his other self no longer needs the drug for release. As Jekyll loses control of his transformations and his antidote becomes less effective, the police begin to suspect his part in his alter-ego's increasing violence.
SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, ...Jekyll and Hyde

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 20, 1999
By A Customer
The script for this story adds a few more human elements than the other versions. The tensions between Dr. Jekyll, his father-in-law and his romance with his sister-in-law along with the Hyde conflict adds to a complex drama. Michael Caine and Cheryl Ladd were both excellent in these roles. When I saw this movie, I had to go out and buy it then I had to read the Stevenson book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jekyll and Hyde--A Classic Film With Masterful Acting, November 15, 2009
By 
Walton P. Sellers III (Opelousas Louisiana USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jekyll & Hyde (DVD)
Jekyll and Hyde is a film that deserves acclaim because of its period flavor and its actors--Michael Caine is great in the title role. Cheryl Ladd does a credible performance as Sarah Crawford, and the late great Lionel Jeffries (his last film?) provideds excellent character support (and subtle comic relief) as Henry Jekyll's father.

As a Louisiana high school educator, I show this film to students in my Psychology classes so that they may see an appropriate, graphic depiction of how easy it is for drugs to control the mind and body. For me, this is not a story about the evil desires of man, but, rather, the hapless plight of a well-meaning researcher who becomes an addict.
