From Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931, Paramount), a scene that displays the emotional and physical abuse of Ivy. Explores the themes of domestic violence in this pre code film.
This is my personal favorite "classic" horror film of all time! Fredrick March actually won the academy award for his dual role (*and deservingly so*) This was the only time an actor won the Oscar for playing a monster role (*it wasn't until decades later where Anthony Hopkins would win best actor for his Hannibal Lector*) This is perhaps one of the very best (*and most chilling scenes*) in the entire film. Pre-code indeed. Poor Ivy.
By "classic" horror film, do you mean a horror film from the 1930s or 1940s? Jekyll and Hyde (the 1931 version) is also my favorite horror film from the '30s or '40s: it puts most of the Universal horror classics to shame (and it certainly puts the Spencer Tracy version of Jekyll and Hyde to shame). What is your all-time favorite horror film? Mine is The Exorcist. Jekyll and Hyde is so erotically charged that it is hard to believe that movie was made in 1931 (the same year that Dracula and Frankenstein were made, movies that seem primitive by comparison). I think that the most shocking scenes of the movie are when he murders Ivy and when he tries to rape Muriel.
@@ItalianKing25 When I say favorite "classic" horror movie, I'm talking about those filmed in B&W. It could stretch anywhere from the early 1920s up to the late 1940s. Just my personal view. Now don't get me wrong. Although this is one my most watched/favorite films of all-time, it doesn't mean I'm not a big fan of the old Universal monster movies as well. "Bride Of Frankenstein", for instance, is a masterpiece. Sort of the "Citizen Kane" of horror pictures. But I do agree with you how "Jekyll & Hyde" stands tall above the rest. The Spencer Tracy version is fair, but nowhere near the March version. "My favorite horror film"? If you mean the one that scared the daylights out of me like no other, then hands down, it would have to be the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". It was playing up on Broadway, in NY, when I was a kid. I was alone and went in on a matinee. Aside from myself, there was just one couple in the theater. I sat alone up in the balcony. I'd never seen this. But leave it to say, halfway into the movie, I was literally shaking in my seat. There was just something so raw, disturbing, and relentless about this film that really shook me up like, no other, and still does to this very day.
@@LATVERIAN1 That's good to hear. I also admire the Universal horror classics, even though many of the sequels became progressively worse during the '40s. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and even Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein are cinematic masterpieces. Dracula arguably contains the best opening sequences of any horror film, but the rest of the movie (once he arrives in England) is a little underwhelming by comparison. And although it isn't one of the best films of the Frankenstein series, the opening scene of Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman is arguably the scariest scene in any of the Universal horror classics.
@@LATVERIAN1 Thank you. Either we have a psychic connection, or we simply have similar tastes in classic horror! It's good to see that classic horror films are still appreciated.
People still sometimes speak of this as a "make-up" performance, and the make-up is certainly amazing, even after all this time, but Fredrick March is absolutely brilliant. It's such a physical performance, and he fully deserved the Oscar.
Thank God for pre-code. The Spencer Tracy version unfortunately suffered from the Code and MGM's generally wholesome production values. Both these actors brilliant here - Fredric March deservedly got the Oscar but she maybe should have gotten one too.
March was the best Hyde Ever!...His laugh is haunting.
The acting in this scene is great, both parts really sell their roles.
This movie was ahead of its time.
It's even more sad that Ivy was a spirited and lively character before she got involved with Hyde. Poor Ivy.
This movie was made pre sensor code, which ment you actually see a little more naked flesh than usual
His laugh sounded like a pure mad man
Poor Ivy. She does seem genuinely frightened.
Before I married my husband I was in a relationship like this with a real vicious creep so I can relate to Ivy's fear.😟
I'm very sorry
@@matthewarnold156 It's okay. I'm with a real sweet strong man now.
@@timdaugherty4014 That's good to hear, and i hope that your having great life 😊

I wish this subplot was in the original book 📖
A true narcissist.
We've all had a date like this
LOL 😝
This is legit uncomfortable. Great acting.
Poor Ivy
He actually had the nerve to comb his hair 😊 really though 😂

Miriam Hopkins is brilliant.
Epic! Fredric March is off the charts good!
Yeah, he just made history by being the first actor to win the academy award for a horror film
That actress was a stunner
Miriam Hopkins
So lucky to have the absolute witness version of Jekyll and Hyde❤️
I swear I worked with a guy that looked/acted like this years ago. Real neanderthal 😝
