The story of man's battle with his own evil side is an ancient, archetypal one, and Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," published in 1886, is a timeless Victorian interpretation that captures the imaginations of modern audiences like no other. It combines fantastical "science," the misty, gaslit streets of old London and the supernatural to create an atmosphere of horror that is both chilling and thought-provoking. Of the many filmed adaptations of this book, this 1920 John Barrymore version is one of the stand outs, presented here color tinted to the original release specifications and with an organ score by Gaylord Carter.
