Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) with Christiana Benson
Happy Autumn! We are ready for all things creepy, kooky, thrilling, and chilling this season...and what better way to kick it off than covering a horror story classic: Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! For this special episode, we are joined by Westmore family historian and great granddaughter of Ern Westmore: Christiana Benson. Christiana walks us through the techniques Wally Westmore used in special effects makeup to transform goodhearted doctor Dr. Jekyll into his evil persona Mr. Hyde. Once a heavily guarded cinema secret, we uncover all innovative artistry that made this look one of the most referenced of all time for this iconic character. We dissect our favorite scenes, brilliant acting by Fredric March and fellow cast members, and deeper meanings of this allegorical tale. What's your favorite interpretation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Do you have any must-watches this fall? Reach out and let us know at @oldsoulmoviepodcast on Instagram!
