      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Despite its powerful cast, Stevenson's classic story loses its social and sexual undertones in this lustless, but still decently entertaining, adaptation.

      Steve D Inferior to the original but still solid. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review andy f A thoroughly entertaining and classy rendition of the classic tale. The implications of Hyde's actions are quite shocking for the era. Spencer Tracy is superb but Ingrid Bergman is hopelessly miscast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jim b Stop asking me to f**king write reviews and just let me rate it, dammit to f**king HELL! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review deke p Ingrid Bergman is very sexy as prostitute. LANA TURNER is SMOKING HOT BEAUTIFUL as the fiance. XLNT CAST. XLNT MOVIE. Xlnt special effects for the age. Xlnt Spencer Tracy as Dr. J & Mr. H. Never saw until tonite on regular TV, 9.18.19. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie score ever composed! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member So this one can be accurately described as a quiet trainwreck. It bores you for a few minutes and then hits you with nonsense. Tracy is doing his best to bring the film up and he adds some legitimate weight to it, but beyond absurdity the script is largely an attempt to explore "high morality" that doesn't actually exist because the writer can't grasp high morality. But it's fine...watch it for free and you'll get a kick out of it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Dan Jardine Slant Magazine Conventions of the time did not allow director Victor Fleming to examine the powerful sexual undertones of Stevenson's tale, robbing the film of much of its potential insight Rated: 66/100 Aug 2, 2010 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out Well shot by Joseph Ruttenberg, and the transformations are effectively handled, but it's generally shallow and anaemic. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Howard Thompson New York Times A little Freudian theory is a dangerous thing. It can make a piece of errant hokum dizzy with significance. Rated: 2/5 May 21, 2003 Full Review Josh Larsen LarsenOnFilm Kinky, cleverly constructed, and featuring against-type performances from three of classic Hollywood’s biggest names... Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 17, 2023 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Essentially a prestige MGM monster movie, but the final product feels almost too polished and too afraid is its own genre to be any fun Rated: 2/4 Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Ingrid Bergman is superb, but inconsistencies in Jekyll’s character work against the film’s total success.
