Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941) Blu-ray

'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' Director: Victor Fleming (1941) Warner Bros. Archive Collection Blu-ray | Restoration

In this 1941 version of Robert Louis Stevenson's Gothic horror novella, director Victor Fleming and lead Spencer Tracy decided to break with convention by interpreting Hyde from a Freudian perspective instead of portraying him as the usual physically grotesque monster, and he emerges as a menacing distortion of the sexually frustrated Jekyll. 

With Tracy undertaking the dual title role and abandoning his characteristic down-to-earth for the most terrifying portrayal of his career. Also cast against type are Lana Turner as Jekyll's fiancée and Ingrid Bergman, who plays Hyde's victimised Cockney mistress.
