Compañía:

Hammer Film Productions

Trivialidades:

The BBFC requested cuts to remove the inter-cutting of a murder and a rabbit gutting, and to edit a bedroom murder and the stabbing of Professor Robertson. The bedroom murder was shortened though Hammer re-edited the stabbing of the doctor to comprise flash shots of earlier killings. Despite initial BBFC objections the film was then passed, and all later releases feature this same edited print.

Errores:

Anacronismos: The Prostitute killed at the beginning of the film is wearing modern high-heeled shoes.

Citas:

Dr. Jekyll: I walked the streets, brooding on the bitter irony that all I wanted to do for humanity, for life, would be cheated by death... unless I could cheat death.

Praise indeed.

A well acted,and well made film from the undisputed masters of horror HAMMER. A very satisfying mix of Dr Jekyll and Jack the ripper,not to mention Burke and Hare. Full marks to Roy Ward aker on yet another MASTERPIECE.
