In a clever, gender-bending twist on the classic Robert Louis Stevenson tale, the research done by Dr. Henry Jekyll (Ralph Bates) in the field of artificially-induced human longevity involves experimentation with female hormones. When he partakes of his own formula and the inevitable Jekyll-into-Hyde transformation takes place, he changes into a ravishing female version of himself (famed "B"-movie siren Martine Beswick).

Interesting and inventive take on the Jeckyll/Hyde story, but of course, it would be, it's Hammer. Entertaining throughout, and although sometimes unintentionally funny, it's still a great watch. I just love that ocncept so much.
