Martine Beswick appears as the mesmerizing Sister Hyde in this striking color publicity photograph from Hammer Films’ DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE (1971).

MARTINE BESWICK - DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE (1971) Crimson Victorian Dress Rare Hammer Horror Photo
The photograph is particularly impressive for its remarkable use of color and period detail. Beswick’s deep red dress dominates the composition, with its fitted bodice, elaborate pleating, ruffled skirt and lace-trimmed neckline emphasizing the ornate Victorian styling. The dark furniture and woodwork surrounding her reinforce the Gothic atmosphere, while the brilliant turquoise-blue lamp in the foreground provides an unexpected splash of contrasting color.
Beswick holds a small object delicately between the fingers of her raised hand while looking downward with a cool, composed expression. Rather than identifying the object without documentary confirmation, its presence simply adds another intriguing element to the carefully arranged composition.
DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE offered one of Hammer’s most inventive variations on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story. Ralph Bates portrays Dr. Henry Jekyll, whose experiments with female hormones result in his transformation into the beautiful but increasingly dangerous Sister Hyde, portrayed by Martine Beswick. The film combines the Jekyll and Hyde mythology with elements inspired by the Whitechapel murders and Burke and Hare, creating an unusually provocative variation on familiar Victorian horror themes.
Directed by Roy Ward Baker and written by Brian Clemens, the film has developed a particularly strong reputation among admirers of later-period Hammer Horror. Beswick’s commanding performance and striking appearance as Sister Hyde remain central to the film’s enduring cult appeal.
For Hammer collectors, this photograph has exceptional visual appeal. Beswick’s crimson Victorian costume, richly appointed interior, contrasting blue lamp and poised characterization capture the sumptuous Gothic production design that distinguishes DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE while presenting Sister Hyde in an unusually elegant color composition.
Carefully restored and professionally printed from archival source material, this museum-quality photograph is a distinctive collectible for admirers of Martine Beswick, DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE, Sister Hyde, Hammer Films, Hammer Horror, Victorian Gothic cinema, classic British horror and rare 1970s color publicity photography.
