TWO FACES OF DR. JEKYLL 1960 (COLUMBIA)

Interesting rehash of the Jekyll and Hyde theme.

A bookish and dull scientist finds a formula that lets out his other, murderous self in this classic from Hammer and director Terence Fisher. Paul Massie is Jekyll and Hyde and he does a passable job in both roles, but the best character is that of Paul Allen played by Christopher Lee.

This is a good if somewhat slow moving film and it isn't for every one. Columbia brings us a perfect 2.35:1 aspect ratio with rich and deep colors. Horror fans will like this and I do recommend a quick look at it,
