.Made before the strict enforcement of the Hays Code, Mamoulian’s classic pushes desire, repression and violence to the surface. Fredric March won an Oscar for his dual performance, while the film’s famous transformation scenes remain a landmark of early sound horror.

« Mamoulian’s 1931 film is no voyeuristic fantasy: through a strikingly modern combination of subjective camerawork (by Karl Struss) and still-astounding visual effects, he makes it clear that Jekyll is no fiction: he is all of us, all the time. » (Time Out)
