In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we dive into the cinematic history of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. From the early 1912 silent film to the groundbreaking 1931 adaptation, we explore how filmmakers brought Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story to life on screen. We’ll break down the incredible visual effects, dive into the pre-code era’s bold storytelling, and discuss why this tale of good versus evil became a cornerstone of genre cinema.

From Wikipedia:

The original pronunciation of "Jekyll", as used in Stevenson's native Scotland, rhymed with "treacle", thus (/ˈdʒiːkəl/).
