My Review:

The silent movie version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was a very nice version of this classic story to watch. The only issues I had were that the movie could been edited better in certain scenes and that some scenes could of used an extra dialogue card or two to explain whats going on in the scene other than that the movie was very enjoyable to watch. The acting was done very well; all the characters displayed proper reactions to what's going. The Jekyll to Hyde transformation was done very well and the make up on the Hyde character were done very well considering what time period this movie was made in.  I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes silent movies or anyone who interested in special effects.<   

You can stream and download this movie for free on the Internet Archive.
