Experiment in Evil (The Doctor's Horrible Experiment) (1959) is a cinematic adaptation inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." The story revolves around a lawyer named Joly (Teddy Bilis), who becomes unsettled when his esteemed friend, Dr. Cordelier (Jean-Louis Barrault), a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, drafts a will bequeathing all his possessions to an enigmatic stranger named Opale. Joly's unease deepens when he witnesses a man assaulting a young girl and subsequently entering a building owned by Cordelier. Upon confronting Cordelier's manservant (Jean Topart), Joly learns that his master has strict instructions that no one is to enter the laboratory when Opale is present. Joly's horror intensifies as he uncovers the true identity of the mysterious man, leading to a chilling revelation about the nature of Cordelier's experiments.
