Oliver Reed stars in this tongue-in-cheek horror tale as Dr. Heckyl, whose disfigured face drives him to suicide. But instead of killing him, his lethal drug turns him into hunky Mr. Hype. There's only one drawback: Mr. Hype's a cold-blooded killer. Soon, the doctor's evil side takes over, choosing carnage over love, driving away the only woman he ever wanted. Sunny Johnson, Maia Danziger and Virgil Frye co-star.

Peter Bogdonavich ("The Last Picture Show," "Paper Moon") directed this wonderful salute to the "screwball comedies" of the '40s and '50s. Superstar and Academy Award-winner Barbra Streisand ("The Prince of Tides," "Funny Girl") and Ryan O'Neal ("Irreconcilable Differences," "Love Story") star as an eccentric girl and an equally eccentric young professor who meet at a musicologist's convention and become involved in a zany chase up and down the hills of San Francisco to recover four identical flight bags containing jewels and secret government papers. This box office hit also features the film debut of comedienne Madeline Kahn ("Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein").
