HYDE linen Danish 1941 different Strand art of worried Tracy & Bergman, rare! Date Sold 10/27/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1947 (from the first release of this movie in Denmark) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Danish Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (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!
