Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)




Fedric March - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Miriam Hopkins, Fedric March - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde




The well-intentioned Dr. Henry Jekyll creates a potion with the goal of becoming a better person by eliminating his lustful desires. However, the potion instead unleashes his dark side, which manifests as the violent and ruthless Edward Hyde. Hyde begins a relationship with a prostitute named Ivy Pearson, something Jekyll, who is devoted to his fiancée Muriel, had previously rejected and repressed.
