This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''''The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll''''' (also known as '''''Doctor Jekyll & Mr. Hyde'''''. U.S. titles: '''''House of Fright''''' and '''''Jekyll's Inferno''''') is a 1960 British [[horror film]] directed by [[Terence Fisher]] and starring [[Paul Massie]], [[Dawn Addams]], [[Christopher Lee]] and [[David Kossoff]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://allmovie.com/movie/two-faces-of-dr-jekyll-v114782/cast-crew|title=Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) - Terence Fisher - Cast and Crew - AllMovie|website=AllMovie))</ref> It was produced by [[Michael Carreras]] for [[Hammer Film Productions]].<ref name="BFIsearch">((Cite web |title=The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll |url=https://collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/Details/ChoiceFilmWorks/150045861 |access-date=12 February 2024 |website=British Film Institute Collections Search))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) |url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6b9385eb |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310193958/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6b9385eb |archive-date=10 March 2016))</ref> The screenplay was by [[Wolf Mankowitz]], based on the 1886 novella ''[[Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]]'' by [[Robert Louis Stevenson]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/78540/The-Two-Faces-of-Dr-Jekyll/articles.html|title=The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1961) - Articles - TCM.com|website=Turner Classic Movies))</ref>

In contrast to other film versions, Jekyll was portrayed as a rather bland and faceless person, while Hyde was presented as suave and handsome. This reflects director Fisher's belief in what critics (such as biographer [[Wheeler Winston Dixon]]) called "the charm of evil".<ref>[[Wheeler Winston Dixon]] ''The Charm of Evil: The Films of [[Terence Fisher]]'' (with an introduction by [[John Carpenter]]). Metuchen N. J. and London: Scarecrow Press 1991. 574 pages.</ref> The film is unusual in that it was one of the few adaptations of the story where the Jekyll/Hyde character does not die in the story's conclusion. It is also set 12 years before the publication of Stevenson's novella.

''The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll'' was released in North America to theaters by [[American International Pictures]] under the titles '''''House of Fright''''' and '''''Jekyll's Inferno''''' and on American TV under its original British title.

==Plot==
In London in 1874, [[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (character)|Dr. Henry Jekyll]]'s wife, Kitty, is secretly involved with his friend Paul Allen (who frequently borrows money from Jekyll). Ignoring the warnings of his colleague and friend Dr. Ernst Littauer, the middle-aged, mild-mannered Jekyll concocts a chemical potion which he hopes will help him learn the depths of the human mind.

By testing the potion on himself, he transforms into Mr. Edward Hyde, a young and handsome but also murderous and lecherous man. Soon, Hyde becomes bored with conventional debauchery and when he sets his eyes on Kitty, he decides he must have her. When Kitty rejects him, Hyde [[rape]]s her and leaves her unconscious. When Kitty wakes up in the bed, she immediately notices that Hyde has scratched her neck in various places. Distressed, Kitty walks over to the table, where she finds a note written to her. When Kitty goes into the other room looking for Paul, she looks in to find out that her lover has been bitten by a venomous snake, which Hyde had locked in a room with him. To Kitty's misfortune, Paul is dead. Kitty walks over to the patio, puts her leg over the balcony, covers her ears in response to the loud music playing from the party and allows herself to fall off the balcony and through the glass roof covering the party guests. Hyde then kills Maria, an exotic dancer he had been having an affair with, in Jekyll's house.

The next day, Jekyll is horrified to learn of what Hyde has done. After speaking to his other half via a mirror, Jekyll turns uncontrollably into Hyde. Hyde then kills a man in Jekyll's laboratory by shooting him in the back and sets his body up at a desk in order to frame his other self for his crimes. Hyde then sets fire to the laboratory as the police arrive. Via a window, Hyde pretends that Jekyll is trying to kill him as the building burns. After escaping the building, Hyde claims Jekyll tried to kill Hyde and ended up shooting himself due to madness as the innocent man and Jekyll's laboratory burns.

Some time later, Hyde, Littauer and the police attend the coroner's court, where it is found that Jekyll was responsible for the deaths due to his dangerous experimentation with drugs, and that he then took his own life. Hyde tries to leave the building, but at the last minute Jekyll fights him from the inside and takes over again. As Dr Littauer recognises his old friend, Dr. Jekyll sits on a bench and is surrounded by astonished people.  With tears in his eyes, he says that only he could stop Hyde, and that he has now destroyed him. The police move forward and arrest him for his alleged crimes.

==Production==
The film was to star [[Louis Jourdan]].<ref>Entertainment Films Stage Music: Louis Jourdan Will Star in 'Mr. Jekyll' Los Angeles Times 15 Oct 1959: C12.</ref> Argentinian actress [[Isabel Sarli]] was offered a role in the film. Filming occurred at [[Bray Studios (UK)|Bray Studios]] in Berkshire.<ref name="Maxford 2019 70">((cite book|author=Howard Maxford|title=Hammer Complete: The Films, the Personnel, the Company|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lfp1DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA70|date=8 November 2019|publisher=McFarland|isbn=978-1-4766-2914-8|pages=467))</ref>

Dr. Jekyll has brown eyes and wears a full beard with rather long hair and bushy eyebrows, whereas Mr. Hyde is blue-eyed, clean shaven and has a shorter haircut. Beyond this, their physical appearance is nearly identical, making this portrayal different than the bulk of film adaptations of the novel. However, the story is presented as though Hyde looks different enough from Jekyll that even Mrs. Jekyll notices no resemblance.

==Reception==
''[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' of the U.K. wrote that the film "may be forgiven for tampering with a classic, but not for doing so with such a depressing lack of either wit or competence&nbsp;...Silliness, in fact, has got the better of the film to such an extent that even its most calculatedly vicious episodes appear only mildly grotesque. The production, which uses up colour film lavishly on such episodes as a cancan sequence, is otherwise hard-up for ideas."<ref>((cite journal |date=November 1960 |title=The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll |journal=[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]] |volume=27 |issue=#322 |page=153 ))</ref> 

''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' gave the film a good review, praising Paul Massie for an "interesting performance" and Jack Asher for "colorful and sure" camerawork.<ref>((cite journal |date=October 19, 1960 |title=The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll |journal=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |page=6 ))</ref> 

Eugene Archer of ''[[The New York Times]]'' called the film "lurid", and Massie "frankly ridiculous."<ref>((cite journal |last=Archer |first=Eugene |date=August 24, 1961 |title=New Jekyll and Hyde |journal=[[The New York Times]] |page=25 ))</ref>

''[[Harrison's Reports]]'' graded the film as "Fair", adding, "Horror fans will hardly be scared by this well-mounted British import... Paul Massie does the best he can in the poorly written twin role."<ref>((cite journal |date=June 24, 1961 |title='House of Fright' with Paul Massie, Dawn Addams and Christopher Lee |journal=[[Harrison's Reports]] |page=100 ))</ref>

The film lost Hammer an estimated £30,000.<ref name="vault">Marcus Hearn, ''The Hammer Vault'', Titan Books 2011, p. 38</ref>

==Potential Remake==
In the mid-nineties, Denis Meikle wrote a potential remake under the suggestion of producer Michael Carreras. The script, titled ''Hyde: Monster of Desire,'' was briefly considered at [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] before being revived at Dreamscape Pictures, with the idea of it being a $50 million picture with [[Sean Connery]] as Jekyll/Hyde. Ultimately, the critical and commercial flop of ''[[Mary Reilly (film)|Mary Reilly]]'' (1996)'','' [[TriStar Pictures|TriStar Pictures']]<nowiki/>own Jekyll and Hyde film, and the dissolution of Dreamscape ended the project. The script is currently available on Meikle's website.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.denismeikle.co.uk/miscellany/26/Adaptation+of+DR+JEKYLL+AND+MR+HYDE | title=Denis Meikle - Writer &#124; Author &#124; Designer &#124; Publisher ))</ref>
