i thought it was a good movie.

my 1st exposure to this type of film (is there a generic name for it?) was...

this 1996 film.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/MaryReilly

Did you ever wonder what [The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde] would be like if Jekyll, Hyde or both of them had a woman in their lives?

Mary Reilly tells the story of an Irish maid in Henry Jekyll's household, who becomes the confidant and love interest of Jekyll, the unwilling accomplice and object of lust for Edward Hyde and the holder of the suspension of disbelief for the audience, since by now the doctor's dark secret is common knowledge.

I just watched that again. I love it, but more for the picture of
Beethoven than any womens lib stuff.

I think that's the best portrayal of B I've ever seen.
