 John Barrymore stars in the
most influential version of the Robert Louis Stevenson thriller.
John S. Robertson directed from a screenplay by Clara S.
Beranger, and many of her embellishments of the tale would remain
a permanent part of the Jekyll-Hyde legend. Barrymore made the
film while simultaneously performing "Richard III" on Broadway,
and the double whammy was so exhausting that he suffered a
nervous breakdown. Produced by Famous Players-Lasky Studios.
