John Barrymore

kairingler

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.

score 8/10
