This 1968 version is both intense and entertaining. The performance of the title character by Jack Palance is excellent. His Hyde is at first light hearted but soon turns to what the author Robert Louis Stevenson attended. A total beast with no regards but to act on impulses. I do have a few complaints
1. Why was this movie shot in a video tape format? Is it because the producer Dan Curtis whom also created the horror soap "Dark Shadows" shot this show also in the same format. 2. What's up with the pool in the streets of London? In the second act after a tryst with 2 ladies of the evening Hyde pushes one of the two "working girls" off a bank of steps into a area of water. I never understood that scene. 3. And finally after a meeting with his best friend Devin, Jekyll passes out from exhaustion he pulls down a cage filled with rabbits. I always wondered about those rabbits being injured.
