\"\"<\/span><\/a>In the spirit of Halloween<\/strong>, I’ve been watching [and enjoying] quite a few horror movies<\/strong> lately. As most of you know, I’m a big fan<\/strong> of the genre<\/strong> especially the classic monsters<\/strong>… Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Until this week I was never a fan of <\/span>Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde<\/strong><\/span><\/a> [in any of the many movie versions]. I decided to watch the 1931 film<\/strong> starring Frederich March<\/strong> and Miriam Hopkins<\/strong>. I know I had seen it before when I was a kid and it didn’t impress me. Watching it again the other night was like seeing it for the first time.<\/p>\n

Fredric March<\/strong> won a Best Actor Oscar<\/strong> for his role[s]. Miriam Hopkins<\/strong> is just right as the saucy barmaid who adds fuel to March’s fire<\/strong>. The special effects<\/strong> were excellent.<\/p>\n

What suprised me most was the movie used Jekyll’s sexual frustration<\/strong> as the focal point of the duality of man’s battle with good vs evil<\/strong>. For a film made in the 30’s<\/strong> it was pretty surprising.<\/p>\n

At any rate, if you’re looking for a good movie for Halloween<\/strong>, give the 1931 version<\/strong> of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde<\/strong> a view. You might discover that there’s more to both Dr. Jekyll<\/strong> and the movie<\/strong> than appears at first glance!<\/p>\n

“Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hide” <\/span>[1931] rates a B<\/span>
