'She Couldn't Laugh' - "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1941)

[ImhotepsAshes]

Just beautiful. I had a vivid dream a few years ago where Ivy finally escaped from Mr Hyde. It stirred the same kinds of feelings that this video does.

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Great upload tribute! An outstanding film.

[IngridBergmanRocked]

Too bad Ingrid & Spencer didn't make another film together.

Both actors had excellent chemistry together.

[TelecasterLPGTop]

Who could resist Ingrid Bergman (at her most beautiful) but the epitome of good, Dr Jekyll. As a child the movie scared the crap out of me but at the same time I developed a life long crush on Ingrid Bergman.

[mubseysmile]

Ok guys keep in mind that 1. It was only her SECOND film in English (you try portraying a complex character in a new language) 2. It was completely new type of role for her, because for YEARS she had been type casted for all the "good girl" parts and 3. She was slightly distracted with Victor Fleming (Mr. Casanova, no offense Fleming fans)

[mubseysmile]

@JuanMacready well THAT was rude, immature and uncalled for for one thing, and you apparently have enough interest in her to find out that she died of cancer

[IronBriar]

The most beautiful woman of any age. Awesome!!

[mubseysmile]

I cry when I see this, it HAS to be my favorite of all. Better than any other movie on Youtube! Thank you, thank you so, so much!

[mukkamala1958]

Fantastic Video Classic Actors and a Classic Movie. Wonderful editing. Thank you.

Spencer and Ingrid we miss you.

[JuanMacready]

The 1931 version was far better in every way.

[RupertMass]

My problem with this film was the pacing was a bit too slow, I hated Ingrid Bergman, and the fil seemed as if it were being more toned-down in terms of content. I did however love Spencer Tracy in the part. I though his "diabolical bastard" portayal was more effective than March's crazed lunatic approach. I do wish he had more makeup though.

[PeterFirthFan]

It was funny that nobody recognized him as Hyde when he looked exactly the same as Jekyll!

[PeterFirthFan]

Bergamn was badly miscast. This slow and boring remake was nowhere near as good as the 1931 masterpiece.

[wincipoet]

she was a beautiful woman but I never considered her as a superb actress

[PeterFirthFan]

It was a strange thing casting Bergman as a Cockney.

[wincipoet]

well but her acting in this movie is her only performance that I personally regard as "quite good"...She was overshadowed by Humphrey Bogart's Rick in Casablanca. Charles Boyer in Gaslight and Yul Brynner in Anastasia also gleamed brilliantly than her(despite her Oscar-winning) Man, I was glad that Brynner's Bounine only kissed her on the hand in Anastasia(but he passionately and soulfully kissed Deborah Kerr on the lips in the Journey^^)

[iloveffvii]

She's considered to be one of the best actresses of all time.

[PeterFirthFan]

No she isn't.

[mubseysmile]

@PeterFirthFan YES SHE IS she was fourth out of the ten best actresses of the 2oth century

[buozzi49]

To wincipoet: I think this was not her best movie. You should see Notorius or Stromboli, Europa 51, or Autumn sonata, She grew up very much, as actress

[mubseysmile]

@buozzi49 but she played it so well, i was so convinced, it's like she wasn't Ingrid but Ivy Peterson

[iloveffvii]

The 1931 film was in fact a remake of two earlier silent films, and as much as you might like to think that the 1931 is a masterpiece, in this day and age the 1941 is much better, although that is not how it was originally regarded.

The 1931 is actually a film I watch when I feel like laughing. To put it simply it's freaking hilarious. The acting is horrible. The plot is weak. And it's nowhere near as psychologically challenging as this one.

Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman-what could go wrong?

[PeterFirthFan]

Tracy was too old for the part and his American accent was badly out of place. Ingrid Bergman was a talentless whore and her Cockney attempt was awful. The film was so slow and boring, no wonder it flopped.

[flybywir]

Interesting opinions you have.......probably a good idea to remember they are only just that, YOUR opinion, for what it maybe worth............

[PeterFirthFan]

The 1941 remake was a critical and commercial flop.

[mubseysmile]

@PeterFirthFan how could you say that :(

Ingrid was spactacular!

[AlexiaDark]

Beautiful video. I'm actually crying right now. I saw this movie for the first time a few weeks ago, and was so happy I did. I'm a huge fan of the musical adaptation of the story, which has a character based on Ivy - the show itself is deeply flawed, but the story of Ivy/Lucy is so wonderfully tragic. I love it.

[dcbon79]

As much as I loved Ingrid Bergman, I could not stand watching this film of her, being abused the way she was.

It drove me nuts.

[eirino0369]

quoting mr kevin spacey in his performance at American Beauty: SPECTACULAR.

[kaallu10]

i love Ingrid Bergman

[slapdaddyc]

fag

[nightttaker]

there is no such a woman in the original novel !!

why do they insist on ruining the real story??

[osdzj]

Thanks so much! I love Ingrid Bergman!

[antipodkayne]

Yes, Ivy deserved better!

[Illusenfan35]

I love this vid! Thanks for posting!

[MG135711]

what pretty lady Ingrid Bergman was... *sigh*

[ObamaRules4Ever]

Nah, she was fucking ugly.

[mubseysmile]

@ObamaRules4Ever psh... whatever, try convincing the rest of the world :P

[Steppen03]

thanks for the clips! =)

[avriljeanluc]

The Beauty and the Beast

[SmashCake]

Where is the part where he tosses his gloves in her face then rapes her?

[UniteResistRevolt]

you mean tosses grapes in her face!

[brsunflower]

ST is an amazing actor and IB is totally beautiful and great actress too. Thanks Lies for the video. Wonderful gift for us, Ingrid fans.

Ruby

[TelecasterLPGTop]

@brsunflower Yes and in the days when sex was implied not splashed all over the screen.

[Fuzzykimba]

That was absolutely fabulous! Thanks!

[anton1990]

Beautiful video :D A great tribute to one my alltime favorite movies.

[LightFromADeadStar]

i like this version the best ingrid was pure beauty

[leslie04film]

This is my fav fav fav video on YouTube!!!!

[Nerweniel]

Aw, thanks, I'm really glad you like it :)!

[napoleoneterzo]

Che meraviglia di attore,mio figlio diciottenne dice che oggi non ci sono attori con una capacità così grande di affrontare ruoli sia comici che tragici...ce ne fossero di Spencer

[pickyapoison]

i love this vid, it's one of my favourites on youtube. The song is wonderful and fits perfectly with the film.

[anton1990]

This is not only Inrid's best film, it's also Spencer's, his preformance as Jekyll and Hyde is awsome.

[actingchick25]

hey this is awesome..I think this film showed Ingrid's real ability in playing both the good girl and bad girl roles, she's versatile! Aww lovely dear!

[Nerweniel]

Thanks :D. I agree, that's what I like about this movie; Ingrid playing "the bad girl" and Lana Turner playing "the good girl" for once. Both did an excellent job at it - although naturally I'm partial to Ingrid ;).
