Two classic versions of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic thriller where Dr. Jekyll, a scientist with dreams of transforming the world, develops and drinks a potion that separates the good and evil aspects of man. But his experiment goes awry, and he metamorphoses into the twisted and sadistic Mr. Hyde, a creature possessed of only the basest human qualities.

The 1931 version, directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Frederich March as the doctor. While in 1941 Spencer Tracy takes the role in Victor Fleming's version with co-stars Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner.
