The Nutty Professor (1963)

Poster for The Nutty Professor

Well, any scientist who makes a girl like this can't be all mad.

A timid, nearsighted chemistry teacher discovers a magical potion that can transform him into a suave and handsome Romeo. The Jekyll and Hyde game works well enough until the concoction starts to wear off at the most embarrassing times.
