mlink-36-9815 This scene occurs during a story being told by Nita Naldi - a flashback about a ring which was meant to contain poison. For some reason the scene was cut and the film was ruined. it appears in some prints and not others. Its crucial to the story because the ring has significance later on.The restored scene is of inferior quality and does not match the rest of the film.A man of princely fashion is lured to the table of a beautiful woman. Then his drink is switched with one in which the ring was used. A toast was made and the prince died thru poisoning. The Image disc has the scene I know that much.

This movie has a great story line. This movie also has great acting. This movie also has great special effects. Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde is said to be one of scariest stories of all time for reason. Because it is. This movie is a most see. This is one of best horror movie ever.

Robert J. Maxwell Robert Louis Stevenson's story is familiar to most of us. Dr. Jekyll is an altruistic doctor, maintaining a clinic for the poor at his own expense, "the Saint Anthony" of London, a paragon of probity and a pillar of the community. But he's doing some research on drugs that his more conservative friends believe to be dangerous.They point out to Jekyll that every man has dual sides, a buried nature that is bad, even Jekyll himself, and, well, in short, it's not nice to fool around with Mother Nature. The Greeks would have agreed and called it hubris. To demonstrate the animal instincts in Jekyll, his friends take him to a louche dance hall where the seductive Nita Naldi is doing her number on the stage. Jekyll goggles at her and undergoes what he might have called a parasympathetic reflex.Back in his home laboratory, he develops a drug that turns him for a few minutes into an evil-looking creep with long hair, a skull shaped like an ancient Peruvian Indian's, and a face that is going through spasms of theatrical torture, before another dose of the drug returns him to normal. Actually, he kind of liked how it felt to be evil. It's fun to be naughty. So he begins using the identity of Mr. Hyde regularly, hiring a shabby room, consorting with low lifes, and generally embarking on what the titles call "a sea of license" and the less literate of today would call "the hedonistic treadmill." I don't think I want to get into the plot too much further. Let's just say that any man who stomps a child in the street and bashes in the head of his future father-in-law can't be all bad.Stevenson's book was published in 1886 in Victorian England. I don't think the story would have had quite the same impact in any other period. It was such a priggish time. Lamb chops acquired little paper panties, furniture legs were draped with tiny skirts, and roast fowl had "white meat" and "dark meat" instead of b*****s and l**s. Nobody was supposed to have a Mister Hyde buried inside him. Oscar Wilde's "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" was published in 1890 and gave the public a glimpse of another Mr. Hyde. Sigmund Freud didn't invent the unconscious but he was about to popularize it and examine it in detail. He called all those buried animal impulses "das Es" -- "the id." There's a moral lesson here. Before you try your experimental drug on yourself, try it on mice first.

kai ringler never seen a John Barrymore picture till this one,, this is the oldest film in my collection, which has roughly 2,200 movies. this is one of the all time classics in my mind, John Barrymore gives a wonderful performance in duality as DR. Jeckyl and of course Mr. Hyde.. just sitting there watching the movie as he gets ready to drink the potion, wow what a chill , what will happen next,, well as I look to see the transformation from one character to the next is almost a shock to the eyes,, just watching the whole thing,, once the transformation is complete, we are ready to get into the other character,, this movie has been remade so many times,, it's hard to imagine owning or watching another version, but I will later just so I can make some sort of comparison , this version I believe will always be the one I will probably like the most however.
