  • Summary

  • Take a trip back in time with Bryan and Dave this week as they go black and white with this unassailable classic of the golden age of horror. It's Paramount's remarkably gritty pre-code horror movie, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a movie meant to capitalize on and compete with the sudden popularity of Universal's 1931's horror movies, Dracula and Frankenstein. Paramount, however, takes things a bit further with a movie movie more explicitly sexy and violent than you're probably expecting from the 1930's.

    It's a dynamic, kinetic movie shot on elaborate sets and featuring powerful performances from both Fredrich March and Miriam Hopkins and it makes use of a brilliant in-camera trick to transform Jekyll into Hyde before your very eyes. Learn all about it and more in this episode.
