Rated: NR
It sounds like the double date from hell, but this is one of Bud and Lou's livelier outings. The boys play a couple of sacked cops who hope to impress Inspector Reginald Denny by capturing the monster that is terrorising London. There are even a couple of laughs in the wax museum and rooftop chase scenes, although the romance between Helen Wescott and Craig Stevens slows things down a touch.
Boris Karloff juicily hams up the roles of the
mad scientist and his alter ego,
making Jekyll seem every bit as
sinister as Hyde.
