Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a horror film starring Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner, and Donald Crisp. It is a 1941 adaptation of the 1886 book Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. That book can be read online here.
We have a DVD of this film, and I can't find it available free.

ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteSo gooood!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it! There've been so many adaptations of this book but few as good.
DeletePlease don't fall over in shock. I have actually read the book and seen this film. It's a staple on Turner Classic Movies during certain times of the year.
ReplyDeleteThe book is a classic, as is this adaptation. There are other good ones, too.
DeleteThis one is the best.
ReplyDeleteMost seem to think so.
DeleteHard to believe 1941! Wow!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
There are versions even older than that.
DeleteWhat a great cast. It's too bad it's hard to find as I bet this is good!
ReplyDeleteIt ain't hard to find if you're willing to buy a copy ;) That's what we did.
DeleteI know I have seen the Spencer Tracy version long ago and remember it as eeing a good one. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this is one of the ones to watch.
DeleteYessssss! This is a great film! Thanks for sharing, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt's worth looking for.
DeleteThat was my introduction to Spencer Tracy as a kid. He had a way of dwarfing most of his co-stars.
ReplyDeleteHe did that part justice. The story continues to be popular and get adaptations. The most recent I know of was about 10 years ago, though.
DeleteA classic tale & I am surprised how many times other movies, other TV series refer to "The Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde scenario.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those cultural literacy things.
DeleteThe best version of this classic. Tracy is magnificent. I can see why you have the DVD -- it's a watch-over film!
ReplyDeleteYes, we used to have a couple of great shops here that sold used DVDs. Both have been gone for years now, more's the pity.
DeleteA horror classic 😁. I hope you had a lovely weekend! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteSummer's drawing to a close, so I'm soaking up the heat :)
