This film is set in 1906 with Christopher Lee's character Marlow experimenting with a drug which produces one of three states of the human psyche, in his case resulting in Blake.
The film follows his fall from normality and sanity as he loses all sense of morality.
Although the film credits Robert Louis Stevenson for writing the story, it changes the main character's names to Dr. Marlowe and Mr. Blake.
The film was initially filmed in 3D, then partway through production this was dropped. God knows why they did this, but it makes the film seem very strange in places!.
I think that that Lee makes a very memorable Jekyll/Hyde. Lee's portrayal is a more even-tempered character than is sometimes portrayed in these films..
He hates violence and wants to bring it to an end by taking this part of the person's character away from them.
SUMMARY ++++++++
This is a classic storyline, told with a slight twist but fails to deliver I feel. The film looks very dated now. I am a huge fan of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but prefer films such as Satanic Rites of Dracula, where what you see is what you get.
