A novel take on the Stevenson legend, this slightly Bizarro version is actually much better than the other Hammer offering I watched a couple weeks ago. Found it quite entertaining, although the ending felt a bit ham-fisted. Look out for Martine Beswick at her best - a hot looker (if you remember her from the early Connery-as-Bond films) and a standout performance.
Overall, very watchable and recommended.
