Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde DVD ReviewA well-made, well-written, and well-acted film, even though the quality of the picture is slightly below average. It would be nice to see this film with a high-quality film-to-disk transfer. The aspect ratio is 4:3. Rating:  - Palance fanI saw this production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde years ago on tv. Palance is perfect for this role. He exudes quiet passion as Jekyll, passion that Hyde transforms into exuberant greed. His performance outclasses any other Jekyll/Hyde that I've seen. If you like Jack Palance, you'll be sure to enjoy this.

The film is deep and thoughtful, probing the good and evil latent in humans, and questioning what should be probed and what should be left alone. There is no CGA -- only excellent performances and a great story line. Rating:  - Interesting interpretationThis is a stylized version of the classic story of the struggle between good and evil inside Dr. Jekyll's heart. The audio is not terrific, and at times, it can be a little difficult to hear the dialogue, but overall it is entertaining and even sad. Mr. Hyde is portrayed as quite likeable in many scenes, so it is sad to see his ultimate decline and death. Dr. Jekyll, on the other hand, never fully develops in this version. He is already obsessed with Hyde as the story begins. Rating: - Four for the production and Palance, two for the DVDThe 1968 made for TV JEKYLL AND HYDE, which has been produced many times, is outstanding. The script, by Ian McLellan Hunter, adapts the Stevenson classic intelligently and elegantly. Jack Palance has one of his finest roles here, embodying both characters with full, three-dimensional personalities. His Jekyll is noble, gentle but flawed and driven, his Hyde brash and loud and magnetic, becoming dangerous and uncontrollable. I especially like Dick Smith's Hyde makeup design: instead of the somewhat ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
