This does not follow the A & C format. Perhaps because Karloff was still at the top of his game more attention was paid to his character but through it all ... something seemed to be missing.
It's as though, go with me here, there was this script with a monster in it and they shoved Abbot & Costello into the storyline.
Also Stevens and Westcott came across as a weak romantic addition to a story which really did not need lovers. Where were their British accents????
Lastly, Jekyll wasn't behaving like the iconic character at all. No inner conflict, no ounce of humanity. Was he even a science dude?
4 Stars. Lowest rating for an Abbot & Costello ever!!
