Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde become Dr Marlowe and Mr Blake in a vapid attempt to give a Freudian psychological interpretation to Robert Louis Stevenson's oft-told tale.

Very good
Clever version of the old Dr Jekyll and Hyde tale, starring Christopher Lee as the "monster".
Good make-up here for 1971. And a very gloomy, old Victorian setting, plus intelligent acting, make this movie a must see for all fans of 1970s' British horror.
Peter Cushing is once again cast as the man who has to put evils to rights.
Worth renting on a cold Winter's night when the ghouls are outside, tapping on the windows!! -
