    • Trivia
      Christopher Lee's role as Paul Allen in the film was written especially for him and was one of his personal favorites.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Henry Jekyll: [to Litauer] This moral quibbling is useless. Man as he is comprises two beings: one of whom I call man as he could be. In his perfection this inner man is beyond good and evil.

      Dr. Ernst Littauer: And the other man?

      Dr. Henry Jekyll: He too is beyond good and evil - man as he would be... free of all the restictions society imposes on us... subject only to his own will.

    • Crazy credits
      Robert Louis Stevenson is unmentioned in the credits. Because his novel that the film is based on is in the public domain, Hammer apparently felt no obligation to bill him.
    • Alternate versions
      For the original UK cinema version cuts were made by the BBFC to shorten the scene where the woman dances with a snake, shots of brief nudity during Hyde's bedroom scene with Maria, and a reduction in Hyde's strangulation of her. The 2010 Sony DVD features the restored and uncut UK cinema version.

    An Hyde of a Time
    I really like Paul Massie in the lead role and I feel he does manage to give a compelling performance here. However the film itself proves unfortunately melodramatic (too many long scenes of Jekyll having outbursts of guilty emotions over the actions of Hyde is the biggest shortcoming). The changes to the story were novel but at the same time managed to turn Jekyll into a simpering wimp compared to a much stronger Hyde. I also fails to make us feel sympathy for any of Hyde's victims..still for some reason I find myself sometimes going back to this one.
