Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a 1931 movie based on the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, it stars Fredric March in the dual title role, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. This is one of the few screen adaptations of the novel to use the correct pronunciation of "Jekyll" (Jee-kyll).Henry Jekyll is a well-meaning doctor who believes that man is not one, but two, with good and evil fighting for supremacy. Frustrated emotionally and sexually by a postponement of his marriage to Muriel Carew (Rose Hobart), his colleague Dr. John Lanyon's (Holmes Herbert) skepticism of his theories, and barmaid Ivy Pierson's (Miriam Hopkins) temptations, he ingests a formula that transforms him into the devious Mr. Hyde. Now without any sense of moral restraint, Hyde meets and terrorizes Ivy as he awaits Muriel's return, threatening to kill her if she doesn't do as he commands.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Jekyll attempts to make amends by giving Ivy money to escape, but on the night of Muriel's return party, he finds he's turned into Hyde without the potion. Hyde attacks and kills Ivy, evading the police by ordering Lanyon to get the chemicals necessary to turn back into Jekyll. A distraught Jekyll breaks off his engagement to Muriel for her own safety and out of remorse. Hyde emerges once more and attacks Muriel, kills her father, and escapes to the lab to transform back. Jekyll lies to the police that Hyde has escaped—but Lanyon betrays him, and when Hyde attacks him he's shot dead, turning into Jekyll as he passes on. | |

Canon Foreigner | |
| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Muriel and Ivy. Specifically, neither Jekyll nor Hyde have girlfriends in the Stevenson story, although there's a subtle implication that part of Jekyll's motivation for becoming Hyde is to get laid. The whole idea of Jekyll having a virginal fiancée and Hyde having a slutty barmaid girlfriend is one that started with a 19th century theatrical adaptation of the story, and has been included in virtually every adaptation since. | |

Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks | |
| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) / int_16d14f03 | comment |
Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks: Jekyll's lab features a long table of curly, curvy flasks, beakers and retorts, none of which he does anything with, focusing exclusively on the stuff on his desk at the opposite end of the room. As a bonus, there's a boiling cauldron heating over a fire for some reason. Pretty much any adaptation of Stevenson's novel will follow this trope, although the '31 film just has the most gloriously over the top example. | |

Redemption in the Rain: Inverted as thoroughly as a trope can be inverted, unless one can be redeemed into evil. When Hyde leaves the laboratory for the first time, it's pouring rain. Hyde spreads his arms and turns his face to the rain in obvious joy. | |

Epic Tracking Shot | |
| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) / int_43a831db | comment |
Epic Tracking Shot: The movie begins with a three-minute continuous shot which moves between two interiors across a large set—both technically and aesthetically daring for the time. Even more impressively, this shot is from Jekyll's point of view. After a cut while Jekyll is riding in a carriage, a second shot follows Jekyll through the streets, out of his cab, and into a lecture hall. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Jekyll wasn't the central character of the original story—the story is told from the POV of Mr. Utterson, Jekyll's old friend and lawyer who investigates the mystery. Most of the original story depicts Hyde's actions as being told about instead of shown. The twist ending was revealed in a letter where everything is again told instead of shown. The film instead focuses on depicting Jekyll's dramatic struggle between his two selves and his eventual downfall, since everybody already knew the ending. | |

In-Camera Effects | |
| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) / int_61eb5873 | comment |
In-Camera Effects: After Jekyll takes the potion, the camera holds on his face in an unbroken take for several seconds, during which his face visibly begins to change, before he staggers out of shot (and over to the makeup table to get his fangs and wig applied). The effect was done using colored makeup and matching camera filters/lighting which rendered the Hyde makeup invisible but could be dialed down as the camera was running, resulting in Hyde's facial features gradually gaining prominence. | |

P.O.V. Cam: Used several times from Jekyll's point of view, including the two Epic Tracking Shots that open the film, as well as the scene where Jekyll downs the potion for the first time. Twice—in the opening scene and when Jekyll downs the potion—the film includes a shot of Jekyll-as-camera looking at a mirror. This was done by putting March on the other side of a mirror that was actually just a hole in the wall, with a reversed portion of the set behind him. | |

Idiosyncratic Wipes | |
| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) / int_bdc0a18e | comment |
Idiosyncratic Wipes: This film uses what might be described as diagonal wipes, where a wipe starts on either the left-hand side and pivots in a clockwise motion across the scene, or a wipe starts on the bottom of the frame and pivots in a counter-clockwise direction. Just to make it more idiosyncratic, the wipe usually stops in the middle for a little bit, resulting in a diagonal Split Screen where action is going on in both corners, before restarting and finishing the transition to the new scene. | |
