Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 1920

Dr. Henry Jekyll (John Barrymore) is working on separating the good and evil aspects from a person's persona and comes up with a potion that holds the key. Using himself as a guinea pig, Dr. Jekyll drinks his formula and is transformed into the evil Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde's activities are the scandal of the city and are a major, though secret, embarrassment to the kindly Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll attempts to keep his connection to Mr. Hyde a secret, all the while he cannot put aside that aspect of his personality which he has released. www.millcreekent.com

The initial transformation...before the jump cut...is done without makeup; just the distortion of his own feature. Wholly amazing!!!

Barrymore was a master of his craft as were the rest of the family too bad he decended into alcoholism.

Couldn't you see Drew doing a modern sequel to this film playing the granddaughter of Dr Jekyll?

Kinda like Young Frankenstein but done as a serous horror.
