Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde DVD review continued (1673 words)
Jekyll is convinced that there are two sides to man's nature, the noble, human side, and the baser, animal side.
Hyde's later brutal treatment of Ivy is shocking and disturbing, one of the few areas in which the 1941 movie is the equal of this one.
Hyde is so uncontrolled, so heedless of what anyone might think, that he's often very funny, but he'd just as soon cut the throat of anyone who laughs.
