I'm surprised at how little known this movie is... only 107 votes. I always thought this was the most accurate version of the book that I've seen. I just ordered the DVD today and I'm looking forward to seeing it again. It's been at least 10-12 years.

Even when it was only available on VHS, it was a little-known TV movie. Undeservedly so. I consider it the definitive Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (works for me, at least) and Palance's performance is priceless.

I just bought the DVD myself. I haven't seen it since the 70s, but I can still recall many of the scenes. IMO, nobody ever topped Jack Palance in this role. I think this movie was never big because of how very relevant all the personal issues are, and how intense and mesmerizing the acting is. Jack Palance will be missed.
