The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1968)
produced by Dan Curtis directed by Charles Jarrott written by Ian McLellan Hunter based on Robert Louis Stevenson's story
starring: Jack Palance - Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde Denholm Elliott - Dr. George Devlin Leo Genn - Lanyon Torin Thatcher - Sir John Turnbull Rex Sevenoaks - Dr. Wright Gillie Fenwick - Poole Liz Cole - Hattie Duncan Lamont - Sergeant Grimes Paul Harding - Constable Johnson Oskar Homolka - Stryker Tessie O'Shea - Tessie O'Toole Jeannette Landis - Liz Liza Creighton - Billie Billie Whitelaw - Gwyn Thomas Donald Webster - Garvis Patrick Crean - Gerosi William Nunn - Cassidy Geoffrey Alexander - Enfield
You know the story. Dr. Henry Jekyll believes humans are half good and half evil and tries to seperate the evil to allow the better half to meet its full potential unfetered by unholsome appetites and desires.
Jack Palance does an excellent job as the timid-shy gentleman Dr. Henry Jekyll and the outgoing, aggressive Mr. Edward Hyde. This version is probably closest to Stevenson's original story. Although there is some slight difference in appearance between Jejyll abd Hyde the emphasis is on the differences in personality.
I rented "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" on a double-sided DVD with "Dan Curtis' Dracula". Search Netflix for just "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".

Saw this way back in '68. I remember Jack Palance being especially sadistic as Hyde and thought he did a great job. The scenes where he slashes some guys with his sword were pretty intense for this 13 year old.
