To the distant date it was shot, the merits of the movie are quite remarkable. To highlight the great performance in both roles, medical and alter ego, John Barrymore. Lon Chaney's contemporary, the characterization ... read more

Movie Reviews (1551-1600) (50 movies items)" Still one of the most memorable transformations of Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde on screen where only acting is used to show the evil side of the character in John Barrymore's tour-de-force. An excellent surreal moment when a spider with Mr. Hyde's head crawls on Dr. Jekyll's body. Nita Naldi steal the spotlight from the boring leading actress in a supporting role as pleasure girl. "
