The Ugly Duckling

Hulking, cloddish chemist Henry Jeckle (Bernard Bresslaw) got little respect from the family and neighbors...until the day he stumbled upon his great-great-grandad’s infamous formula in the shop. The pernicious potion transformed hapless Henry into the suave spiv Teddy Hyde, who quickly falls in with a burglary ring--and then sticks Jeckle with the jewels as the police are closing in! Long-though-lost farce from Hammer also stars Jon Pertwee, Maudie Edwards, Jean Muir, Reginald Beckwith. 84 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
