Did you know
ā¢ Christopher Lee's role as Paul Allen in the film was written especially for him and was one of his personal favorites.
ā¢ This film adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) features the opposite in the transformation: the older and sensible Jekyll is mustached and bearded and speaks in a low voice while the younger and hedonistic Hyde is clean-shaven and speaks in a friendly-sounding voice.
ā¢ Christopher Lee originally wanted to play the lead role(s) in the film.
