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

Citazioni
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.

Curiosità sui crediti
Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of the novella that this film was based on, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), was never mentioned in its credits. Because Stevenson's novella was already in the public domain by that time and because Stevenson himself was long since dead (he had died in 1894), Hammer obviously felt no obligation to mention him in them at all.

Versioni alternative
Extensive cuts to the original UK theatrical version of the film were made by the BBFC in order to shorten the scenes where Maria dances with a snake, the scenes of brief nudity during Hyde's bedroom scene with Maria and the scene of Hyde strangling her. The 2010 U.S. Sony DVD version of it, however, which was released as one of the four films in the box set "Icons of Horror Collection: Hammer Films", features its restored and uncut UK theatrical version.

A little-known gem from Hammer's Glory Days

Having long been a serious Hammer fan, this film somehow escaped me for years. I recently viewed it for the first time, and was very impressed. Christopher Lee rarely had such a delicious part, as the pompous and sleazy Paul Allen. Director Terence Fisher and composer Monty Norman are in top form as well. Of course, the story itself is familiar but thoroughly engaging.

One thing troubles me, the tape I saw had a few obvious dialog cuts. If you've never seen The Two Faces of Dr. Jeckyll, AND you like the horror cinema of this period, I strongly urge you to see this one.
