I picked this up on VHS at a thrift store, along with ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY, but I think I prefer this one over the latter. The great Boris Karloff (BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN) stars as Dr. Henry Jekyll. For a while at first it felt like Abbott and Costello would be minor characters in their own movie. As the film opens, we're introduced to Vicky Edwards. A women's rights advocate, and friend to Henry Jekyll. We're unfortunately introduced to Bruce Adams, a reporter covering the murders. I don't know if it was just the way things were at the time, but I don't like how the love stories were written in a lot of these old films. They come off uncomfortably forced. For Vicky and Bruce, it's almost to the point this Bruce character feels perversely aggressive. Not violently, it's just like everywhere she goes, he pops up to hit on her. If I was Vicky I'd tell him to back the hell off. |
