While not quite in the same league as A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN (the top fright flick in the duo's career), ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE does manage to have the stars cavorting in Victorian London while trying... Full review

Despite the closing line of DR. JECKYLL AND MR. HYDE, the closing sentence "I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jeckyll to an end", has never been true. I don't think any of Stevenson's stories (including TREASURE ISLAND and... Full review

Abbott and Costello started with Frankenstein in 1948, and then proceeded to meet all the great monsters. In this film, the cowardly, hilarious duo team up with the King of Horror, Boris Karloff, as the misguided, evil Dr. Jekyll and... Full review

I found this to be Abbott and Costello's last great movie. It's most underrated. The music and sets create a good Victorian atmosphere. Bud and Lou aren't at their funniest but they are highly enjoyable. Karloff is good too. Kids... Full review

Not nearly as sharp as the double act's encounters with Frankenstein's monster or the Invisible Man, but Karloff's statesmanlike presence as Stevenson's tortured physician adds class to this knockabout horror spoof. ... Full Article
