Dr. Jack the Ripper and Mr. Norman Bates!!
10 October 2023
After Psycho Anthony Perkins was deeply stigmatized as Norman Bates's behavior for good, a sort of deranged mind type, hereinafter in some movies portrayed a lengthening of Bates concept, as Pretty Poison, How Awful About Allan, Crimes of Passion, North Sea Hijack and Psycho's franchise, such odd background it allowed to him to be invited to play Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in British-Hungarian production, the director Gerárd Kikoine suggests a Norman Bates in the role in consensus of own Anthony Perkins, thus the picture became mangled no Jekyll and Hyde or Norman Bates neither, just a resemblance of Jack the Ripper so to speak.

This version is almost a soft-porn offering with so many nudities sequences at Whitechapel bro.thel also implying a unorthodox menage a tr.ois relationship and profane sexual inter.course as the nun scenes, worst suggesting a glam g.ay character as Johnny (Ben Cole) on such place that ends up a masochist partnership between Jekyll-Susanah-triangle on hardest sex sequences, many prostitutes on narrow dimly lit streets where Mr. Hyde-Bates stabling their ill-fated victims, in other hand the high points are a fabulous reenactment of Victorian era, lavish sets, dapper wardrobe and course gorgeous girls as well.

Sadly Anthony Perkins actually already has been infected by Human Immunodeficiency Virus and was pale, skinny and in conspicuous weakening process, apart his wife he hidden his illness for everyone, three years later Perkins passed away, letting behind a stunning career as the insane and immortal Norman Bates, ain't small thing.

Thanks for reading
