136 The Daughter of Dr Jekyll ( 1957 )

This  film  has  almost  nothing  to  do  with  Stephenson's  tale; mentioning  it  in  the  spoken preamble  is  a  real  liberty. Hyde  is  not  even  mentioned  and  Jekyll  is  re-cast  as  a  werewolf  in  a  storyline  which  is  almost  identical  to  The  She-Wolf  of  London  though  it  does  have  one  surprise  in  store  towards  the  end.

Anne  Smith  visits  her  guardian  Dr  Lomas  ( Arthur  Shields )  bringing  along  her  fiance  ( John  Agar ). Lomas  has  two  revelations, one,  she's  an  heiress  to  a  considerable  estate  and  two,  her  father  was  Henry Jekyll.   Lomas  puts  her  to  bed  and  she  has  dreams  of  killing  people.

The  film  has  its  moments  but  for  the  most  part  it's  a  predictable  plod.
