He’s a changed man after taking Jekyll’s old family remedy.
The Ugly Duckling (1959) follows a clumsy outsider who stumbles on an ancestral formula that turns him from a timid, awkward dreamer into a suave, self-assured alter ego. As his transformation emboldens him to pursue romance and wild escapades, he becomes increasingly entangled with criminals and consequences he never intended. This British science-fiction comedy blends slapstick transformation and off-kilter caper energy in a whimsical study of confidence and identity.
