Cushing and Lee in 3-D!

This odd adaption of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was originally shot in a rare form of 3-D which depends on a complicated camera move, much to the annoyance of star Christopher Lee. But it was all worth it, Mr. Lee, because it stands now as your only 3-D movie for us to enjoy today! The 3-D only works when the camera is moving left to right or right to left and you need special glasses (with the right lens slightly darkened) to enjoy it. But in 3-D, the creeping camera moves and slow editing all make sense because the scenes spring to life with deep focussed 3-dimensional action. Now you know why Christopher Lee is always walking up and down his laboratory behind all the chemical glassware!

Wissenswertes
This film attempts (and is mostly successful in doing so) to exploit the Pulfrich effect to provide a 3-D experience. To see this, use a pair of glasses with the right lens much darker than the left. These are available for other videos or they can be made by removing the left lens from a pair of sunglasses. Some clever camera work and choreography that keeps the foreground moving to the right and the background moving left makes this possible.

Patzer
At c. 53:00 into the film, Utterson says he would recognize 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 nighttime, when it was used to assault him earlier in the film.

Zitate
Dr. Charles Marlowe: The face of evil is ugly to look upon. And as the pleasures increase, the face becomes uglier.

Alternative Versionen
On Blu-ray, the film was released for the first time by Powerhouse Films in the UK. In addition to the theatrical version, there is the option to watch the extended version, which features two additional scenes. You can see Marlowe working in the lab, more conversations in the club and a conversation of Marlowe with his patient Diane. The scenes mainly deepen the theme of human duality, but are not strictly necessary.
