The Son of Dr. Jekyll (1951)

Directed by Seymour Friedman
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

It's 30 years later and the son of Dr. Jekyll is mixing chemicals and hanging out with low life women again. There is one brief transformation scene that is actually well done, not the usual series of dissolves, in fact I could not make it how it was done. Otherwise, Mr. Hyde is mysteriously AWOL in the film. Most of the plot involves an old colleague of the original Dr. Jekyll and his attempt to extort money from the son.
