Jekyll & Hyde
Unnatural, uncontrollable, unleashed.
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.

**_David Wickes’ unique version of the oft-told story, with Michael Caine_** Shot in late summer 1989, the good thing about this version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 tale is that it gets creative by adding a backstory about Jekyll’s dead wife, a fuming father-in-law (Joss Ackland) and a lovely sister-in-law with a heart for the doctor despite being married to an absent husband (Cheryl Ladd). Ladd had just turned 38 when shooting started and is more beautiful than ever. Also notable on the feminine front is redhead Kim Thomson as a young prostitute. Meanwhile Miriam Karlin is entertaining as a hyperactive madam. I should add that stunning blonde Samantha Womack makes her film debut in a bit part as a young maid. It runs 1h 35m and was shot on Merton Street, Oxford, which is 60 miles northwest of London, with other stuff done in the Capital city, such as studio work. GRADE: B
