 | Description: | Ill show you what horror means... growls the hideous Mr. Hyde (Fredric March) as the helpless, terrified Ivy (Miriam Hopkins) cowers on her bed. And now you'll see too, as you watch this fully restored 1932 version of Robert Louis Stevensons spine-chilling masterpiece. With the inclusion of 17 minutes of previously censored material, this is the definitive Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Director Rouben Mamoulians choice of young, handsome Fredric March (known then as a comic actor) to play the lead raised studio hackles. But Mamoulian argued, I don't want Hyde to be a monster. Hyde is not evil, he is the primitive, the animal in us, whereas Jekyll is a cultured man, representing the intellect. Hyde is the Neanderthal man, and Marchs makeup was designed as such. Obviously, Mamoulians insistence paid off, as March won 1932s Oscar for Best Actor. Indeed, the publics fascination with Hyde equaled that of Boris Karloffs Frankenstein and Bela Lugosis Dracula."Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" (1932) on DVD, presented by WARNER ARCHIVES, is a landmark in classic horror cinema. This adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson?s novella stars the legendary Fredric March, whose dual performance as both Dr. Henry Jekyll and his sinister alter ego Mr. Edward Hyde won him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, known for his innovative cinematic techniques and work on films like "Love Me Tonight," this version is celebrated for its groundbreaking makeup effects and psychological depth. Miriam Hopkins delivers a memorable performance as Ivy Pearson, while Rose Hobart shines as Muriel Carew. The film's haunting atmosphere and moral complexity have influenced generations of filmmakers.
