Jekyll and Hyde…Together Again (1982)
Runtime: 1 hr 27 min Starring: Mark Blankfield, Bess Armstrong, and Krista Errickson Director: Jerry Belson Let me get this out of the way: yes, I switched up this blog’s look. I was getting a little tired of the black and green, so I decided to try a lighter look. I’m not in love with… Continue reading

Dr. Hekyll and Mr. Hype (1980)
Runtime: 1 hr 39 min Starring: Oliver Reed, Sunny Johnson, and Maia Danziger Director: Charles B. Griffith I hated this so much. There are comedies that are not meant for me, but I can see how other people would like the comedy. Then there are comedies that I’m not sure how anyone could like. I… Continue reading

Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde (1976)
Runtime: 1 hr 27 min Starring: Bernie Casey, Rosalind Cash, and Marie O’Henry Director: William Crain This is described as a blaxploitation horror film. I knew there was a whole genre of film described this way, but I’m pretty sure this is the first I’ve personally watched. This doesn’t follow the story of Dr. Jekyll… Continue reading

The Jekyll and Hyde Portfolio (1971)
Runtime: 1 hr 21 min Starring: Sebastian Brook, Mady Maguire, and Donn Greer Director: Eric Jeffrey Haims I think it’s safe to say that slasher sexploitation films may not be for me? At least, this one was decidedly not for me! Look, friends, I don’t know what the plot actually was. What I do know… Continue reading

Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971)
Runtime: 1 hr 34 mins Starring: Ralph Bates, Martine Beswick, and Gerald Sim Director: Roy Ward Baker I would say this is Jekyll and Hyde adjacent, too. It shares Dr. Henry Jekyll’s character with the original material, as well as our doctor experimenting with things better left alone. There is also plenty of murder in… Continue reading

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1968)
Runtime: 2 hr Starring: Jack Palance, Denholm Elliott, and Leo Genn Director: Charles Jarrott I watched this on a Monday night. When I say I watched this on a Monday night, I mean I fell asleep at some point and woke up with a heavy sigh of frustration. When I woke up, I immediately went… Continue reading

The Nutty Professor (1963)
Runtime: 1 hr 47 min Starring: Jerry Lewis, Stella Stevens, and Del Moore Director: Jerry Lewis I thought I knew things. I thought I knew that Jerry Lewis was only capable of portraying goofy, bumbling characters. Never mind that I think I’ve only ever seen him in one other movie before watching this one. Never… Continue reading

The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960)
Runtime: 1 hr 28 min Starring: Paul Massie, Dawn Addams, and Christopher Lee Director: Terence Fisher Friends! We finally stepped out of the silver screen and into Technicolor! My eyes were starved for what Technicolor could provide me, given that I watched quite a few movies in black and white since I started this journey.… Continue reading

Daughter of Dr. Jekyll (1957)
Starring: Janet Smith, George Hastings, and Arthur Shields Runtime: 1 hr 11 mins Director: Edgar G. Ulmer I feel like I’m about to half-ass this. Friends, I zoned out while trying to watch this. This time around, Dr. Jekyll had a daughter. I say “had” because there is technically no Dr. Jekyll in this movie.… Continue reading
