Finding it?
Well, I've read the reviews, ogled the cast list, and now you've got me interested.
...So how the heck does one get ahold of this movie?
Forget it... I've been looking for 7 years for an uncut VHS copy (DVD? What's that?) of this film and never managed to find one... Sad!
shareThere actually appear to be a few sites selling obscure horror movies that have DVD-R's for $15 or $20. They say it's an uncut English dub version with Dutch subtitles. I'm a bit too tightfisted (and without quite enough knowledge of the movie) to give it a try myself, but I thought I'd mention in case you haven't come across those.
shareI've just found my old UK VHS copy of this film and am very keen to re-watch it, but I believe this release was cut - no idea by how much. Anybody out there know?

One day this may get an official DVD release, I'll keep my fingers crossed....
shareI found mine at www.dvdobscura.com . It is a DVD-R. There they call it Dr. Jekyll and His woman, but on the case shown it says Docteur Jekyll et les Femmes.
shareGot my DVDR from Trash Palace. The title is Dr. jekyll and His Women and is the English version with Dutch subs (can't be removed). The label says Widescreen: it isn't.
It's supposed to be uncut and I believe that. Occasionally scenes seem to be missing, or events seem to have taken place, or are taking place, off-stage - I put all this down to Borowczyk's anarchic editting.
As the plot takes place in Edwardian London (I presume, as they have a telephone) some of the dubbing is fine and use the actual actors' voices, but characters have been dubbed by Americans and sound completely out of place (Howard Vernon's sounds the worst - a much younger voice).
