About
Dabbling in laboratory experiments to interrogate his theory that all humans contain a duality of good and evil, the accomplished Dr Jekyll inadvertently calls forth his own depraved and dangerous nature: the alter ego Mr Hyde. John Barrymore playing the titular role is masterful in his miraculously eerie transformation between both personalities: in turn a distinguished doctor who charitably runs a clinic for the poor and Mr Hyde, a vicious and violent criminal.
