However, the original story by Stevenson is an ageless one, touching as it does on scientific hubris, the difference between public and private personae and the nature of compulsion, and even more so when you add in the "sex-change" conceit, with its potential for commentary on gender politics and male-female relationships. I'd love to see what a gifted writer and a modern studio with an up-to-date effects department (and better actors than Daly and Young) could do with that.<br /><br />I see that a new Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is due out this fall (October, 2015). Maybe Sister Hyde will be next!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-12149566786108073492011-06-21T09:38:01.733-05:002011-06-21T09:38:01.733-05:00One of my favourite Hammer movies.
