| Good versus evil. Right and wrong. Science and nature. Fredric March's popular identity crisis is probably his most celebrated performance. Pleasant as the good Dr. Jekyll, menacing as the evil Mr. Hyde, March dawns both good and evil with simplistic ease. A classic movie, this version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is still the best. Numerous follow-ups and re-makes have been made, but none come close to this one. March's performance netted him a well-deserved Oscar. This is the true meaning of split personalities. |
