Like Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde, THE JEKYLL AND HYDE PORTFOLIO (1971) is soft-core erotica that will qualify at best, for the appendix. This story of a split-personality killer murdering students at a 19th century nursing school in between their hookups wouldn’t qualify for that except for the title and that the movie’s characters invoke Stevenson (“She’s a modern day Jekyll and Hyde!”), so … A few years later, it would have fit handily into the slasher genre. “I’ve never seen such carnage in all my years on the force.”
My brother sent me a copy of his appearance as King Arthur in SPAMALOT, the stage adaptation of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Given the limitations of a stage set the show does a remarkable job capturing many of the scenes (I didn’t think they could pull off the Black Knight losing his limbs but they made it work) though they give the Lady of the Lake a larger role and provide a different ending. I think it’s interesting that “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” from Monty Python’s Life of Brian is one of the songs, showing what a Python landmark it’s become. A fun production of a fun show. “God, almighty and all-knowing has … misplaced a cup?”
