Well, I say good, but the Hammer sex-change version is a mixture of
crass errors and unexpected joys. The idea and title could strike you
as cheesy, but then they have an amazing casting coup in Ralph Bates
and Martine Beswick as the titular pair, their physiognomies lining up
in a remarkably convincing way. "Sister Hyde" isn't a nun, or a nurse,
she's literally alibied as Jekyll's sister, and there's a convincing
family resemblance. Both actors seem to exude some kind of powerful
pheromone that makes them appealing to gay audiences. It's a real
shame the film doesn't find that much for Martine to do — she barely
speaks, and though she clashed with Baker and Hammer films over their
urge for more nudity, the film doesn't even allow Mrs. Hyde to
experience sex as a woman. They're slightly afraid of the story's
possibilities.
