Description

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Paramount, 1931). Insert (14" X 36").
Fredric March gives an Academy Award-winning performance in his incredible dual performance for this classic horror film. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, this film also features Miriam Hopkins as the prostitute Hyde lusts after and Rose Hobart as Jekyll's more refined love interest. The transformation special effects (from Jekyll to Hyde) were major feats for the day and still astound modern audiences. Long thought a "lost" film, with MGM buying up the rights to remake the story in 1941, the movie finally resurfaced decades later. Original release paper for this classic horror film rarely surfaces, and this insert format is unique in its Art Deco graphic of March. Touchup was expertly applied to the folds where there is a small amount of chipping, a tear in the top border, a tear in the right border/background, and scattered pinholes. Fine+ on Paper.
