Viewing Notes
An interesting, more literal, take on Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with Lee in the principal dual role without a lot of appliances or makeup. Gotta say he makes a fairly effective Mr. Hyde.
This disc was part of my Indicator sale haul and the only single disc I ordered. The rest of the order was comprised of box sets.
