At c. 53 minutes Utterson says he would recognise the exact details of the ornate head of Blake's cane. However he has only seen this cane for a fraction of a second, at night-time, when it was used to assault him earlier in the film. See more »Quotes

This version of Stevenson's DOCTOR JEKYLL AND MISTER HYDE is a rather worthy one. Christopher Lee gives one of his finest acting performances ever as Doctor Marlowe, while Peter Cushing finds himself with an interesting supporting role. Another good surprise is the music, usually painful in those cheap horror films from the 70s. Here, there is dissonant orchestral music that befits the subject perfectly. The story is treated straightforward, which keeps the pace going. The philosophical aspect of the story is present too, with many references to Freud's theories on the nature of good and evil. A bit dusty, but it's still a good film.
