HYDE Color-Glos 8x10 still '41 Spencer Tracy stares at Ingrid Bergman! Date Sold 10/27/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Color-Glos 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the classic 1941 Victor Fleming romantic love triangle horror thriller ("A good woman -- A bad woman -- He needed the love of both!"; "He wanted excitement... yet he dared not admit it to himself. He yearned for secret romance... but he hid his desires from his beautiful young fiancee. Then his dreams became reality... and thrilling drama flooded his lie."; "Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson") starring Spencer Tracy (in the title role as Dr. Henry Jekyll/Mr. Hyde), Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner, Donald Crisp, Ian Hunter, Barton MacLane, and C. Aubrey Smith. Note that this movie was a remake of the 1920 silent movie with John Barrymore, and also a remake of the 1931 sound version with Fredric March. Not only were March and Tracy Best Actor Oscar winners, but they also much later played opposite each other in the courtroom drama, "Inherit the Wind". Also note that it appears that MGM was somewhat shy about presenting this movie as a horror movie, because unlike the earlier versions, both of which were from Paramount Pictures, MGM not only did not push the horror elements of this movie in their advertising, but they also barely showed Tracy as Hyde in any of their publicity material! Finally, note that based on their previous roles each actress had taken, it would have seemed much more reasonable to have Lana Turner play the "bad" woman and have Ingrid Bergman play Dr. Jekyll's noble girlfriend, but the two took the opposite roles, and both did admirably! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still was consigned to us from an unusual collection. The owner had the names of the movies (sometimes the stars) and sometimes the date stenciled in the bottom border of many of his stills. We don't know why this was done, but the stencils are not much of a defect at all, because they are in the blank border, and they of course help identify the stills (which may have been why it was done in the first place!). Also note that this still is from a special set of "color glos" stills, which means it was printed on a photo type of paper and have a glossier front, with more vivid colors. This is something the studios experimented with in the late 1930s and early 1940s, for both 8x10 stills and 11x14 stills. Condition: very good. The still has "41" stenciled in the bottom blank border . There is a stain in the top left blank corner and two tiny tears in the bottom blank border. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
