Robert Louis Stevenson, born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, was a prolific writer whose works have transcended time and genre. His stories inspired a range of adaptations, including The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) and Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971), both of which explore the duality of human nature. Stevenson's influence is evident in the cult film landscape, where his narratives of adventure and moral conflict resonate with audiences. His legacy continues through films like Kidnapped (1971) and The Man with Two Heads (1972), showcasing the enduring appeal of his literary creations.
Dr. Jekyll Likes Them Hot
A lusty young woman decides to use her sexual powers to “tame” the evil and murderous Dr. Jekyll. Actress Edwige Fenech and the Italians made A LOT of screwball sex comedies in the 70’s. Generally though, they were more successful(internationally, at least) at bedroom farce-type stuff as opposed to parodies like this. To be fair though, the English-language version of this is saddled with bad dubbing, horrid music (which may or may not have been in the Italian-language version), and an inappropriate English-title, “Dr.Jeckyl Likes ’em Hot”, which suggests a much more sex-saturated movie. Still, as European horror movie parodies go this is not as good as Lucio Fulci’s “Young Dracula”, it’s about the same as Armando Crispino’s “Frankenstein All”Italia”, but it’s significantly better than “Dracula Blows his Cool”.
