An Academy Award-nominated classic horror film will hit a major streaming platform next month. Starring the legendary Fredric March, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde debuted in 1931 to critical acclaim and was commercially successful.
Old and new audiences will now experience the 93-year-old masterpiece when Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde arrives on Max on Feb. 1. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, the movie adapts the famous Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which tells the tale of a man who takes a potion that turns him from a mild-mannered man of science into a homicidal maniac.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tweaks the classic source material into a grim portrayal of an abusive and controlling relationship, portraying Hyde as a monster through his destruction of a young woman. Alongside March, the film stars Miriam Hopkins as Ivy Pierson, Rose Hobart as Muriel Carew, Holmes Herbert as Dr.
