Satirical horror farce, based on Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Jerry Belson's cinematic directorial debut, based on a late-night sketch from ABC's answer to Saturday Night Live, "Fridays," wherein comedian Mark Blankfield played a recurrent cocaine-snorting pharmacist. Belson, most often noted for sharing writing credits with Steven Speilberg for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and winning three Emmy's for "The Tracey Ullman Show," co-wrote with notable sitcom screenwriters, Michael J. Leeson (two time Emmy winner for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series 1981 "Taxi" and "The Cosby Show" 1985), sister Monica Johnson ("The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Laverne & Shirley") and Harvey Miller (head writer, director of "The Odd Couple"). The script was championed at Paramount by Michael Eisner and part of Paramount's "Magnificent Seven," a reaction to increasing budgets and a potential director strike in 1981 where six films were rushed to production under budget in order to finance a seventh.
