Вольная экранизация повести Роберта Луиса Стивенсона «Доктор Джекилл и мистер Хайд». Режиссер, как почти все его предшественники, обращавшиеся к известной книге Стивенсона, поручил одному и тому же актеру двойную главную роль — и Энтони Перкинс сыграл то, что от него требовалось. Самое любопытное, пожалуй, то, что патологическим извращенцем в его интерпретации стал не только Джек Хайд, убийца проституток, но и доктор Генри Джекилл, вполне респектабельный гражданин общества.
