Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920)
DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (1920) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: John S. Robertson
John Barrymore, Martha Mansfield, Nita Naldi,
Brandon Hurst, Charles Lane, Louis Wohlheim
Good and evil fight for the soul of Dr. Henry Jekyll. Drugs are involved. Many more Jekyll-and-Hyde adaptations have come along since, but some horror fans consider this silent version the best. Barrymore looks slightly ill playing Jekyll, but he really goes nuts playing Hyde.
