“I’ll show you what horror means” – growls the hideous Mr. Hyde 
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story is one of the most enduring and classic ones in both literature and film history. When it was first published in the year 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde aroused a storm of controversy. Quaint Victorian sensibilities were outraged by its premise that every human being has a demon lurking within, longing to break loose and indulge in forbidden pleasures. By scientific means, the tale’s protagonist, the kindly Dr. Jekyll, frees his suppressed self and plunges into an orgy of uncontrollable licentiousness that ends in an untimely demise. Although the motives and circumstances of splitting one character into two have changed from adaptation to adaptation, the basic premise of the story is still compelling. This version is the first sound one (previous version from 1920 starring John Barrymore). It is an adaptation of two 1887 stages play by Thomas Russell Sullivan, Luella Forepaugh and George F. Fish, rather than the book by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is considered the best version of Stevenson’s classic; this 1932 film resulted in an Oscar win for actor Fredric March. Beautifully filmed by Rouben Mamoulian and well-acted across the board. It also features some stunning visual tricks and strong pre-Code sexual content.
