Jekyll and Hyde. Together Again Original screenplay for the 1982 film
Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1981. Final draft script for the 1982 film with annotations in holograph ink striking dialogue on three pages.<br/><br/>A cocaine fueled spoof of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" that could have only been made in the early 1980s. With tag lines like "They told Dr. Jekyll to take his amazing scientific discovery and shove it up his nose. So he did." and "The comedy that examines modern living through chemistry" one has a good idea what to expect. The film allows Mark Blankfield of the sketch comedy television show "Fridays" free range for a completely over-the-top performance as the shy timid Dr. Jekyll and the mustachioed gold-toothed hairy chested party-animal Mr. Hyde and aptly closes with a shot of Robert Louis Stevenson spinning in his grave.<br/><br/>Tan titled Paramount wrappers noted as FINAL DRAFT on the front wrapper dated March 31 1981.
