This assembled collection represents over a decade of work, the three DVD set includes two silent features from the dramatic greats, Sheldon Lewis and John Barrymore, who competed fiercely in 1920 to release his respective film first. You will also enjoy earlier dramatic shorts, later comedic shorts, a Flip the Frog cartoon, a Sheldon Lewis' reprisal of his role in a talkie short circa 1932. and two entertaining live television shows. All inspired by the novella or themes of Robert Louis Stevenson's “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”
*Note: We are happy to present this collection of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde material, however some of the titles presented in this set are not up to the usual quality we strive for. We considered excluding this material all together but ultimately decided their inclusion, despite any concerns, make the DR. JEKYLL AND MR HYDE COLLECTION not only more complete but also overall more enjoyable. Thank you for you understanding and remember your satisfaction is guaranteed at Grapevine Video.
