121 The Son of Dr Jekyll ( 1951 )
This is an over-long and rather dull continuation of the Jekyll story.
His baby son Edward , the product of a marriage not in any of the previous versions is adopted by his father's friend Sir John Utterson ( Lester Matthews ) while the estate is managed by Dr Lanyon ( Alexander Knox ). He grows up to be a hot headed young man ( Louis Hayward ) intent on furthering his father's work. However the press and public view him as potentially dangerous and their fears seem to be confirmed by various incidents.
Jody Lawrance ( as Lynn )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Jody was originally Nona Goddard and became foster sister to the future Marilyn Monroe. This is one of her earliest films. She had an up and down career blighted by her reputation as a trouble maker and a stormy personal life. She died in 1986 aged 55.
Claire Carleton ( as Hazel )
Sex : No
Death : Killed by Lanyon ( off screen )
Claire was a very busy actress who worked on stage in the thirties, film in the forties and fifties and TV in the sixties though she never became a star. She died in 1979 aged 66.
