DR JEKYLL & MR HYDE/KING OF THE ZOMBIES SET


DR JEKYLL & MR HYDE(1920):

This is the silent version of this movie. While I know
for it's time it was considered an excellent movie, I've
never been a fan of silent movies, and this was no
exception!! C+

From an Amazon.com customer:

It may be surprising to audiences with modern
movie-going sensibilities, given both the absence
of well-established genre conventions and the obvious
limitations imposed by the absence of sound, that
most of the more prominent early movies of genre
interest are rather good. The 1920 version of Dr Jekyll
and Mr Hyde, directed by John S. Robertson, for
example, remains a solid entry among the many film
versions of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale,
arguably only eclipsed by Rouben Mamoulian's 1932
version starring Fredric March (mainly because of
the latter's unintentional comedy). John Barrymore,
originating the role of the ill-fated gentleman doctor
and his beastly alter ego, is on top form, overcoming
the limitations of silence with some superb physical
character work. Proving the adage rather early though
that Hollywood only knows about four good stories,
at least six more versions of the story would be filmed
before the advent of sound in 1928 - P. I. Johnson

KING OF THE ZOMBIES(1941):

From Amazon.com:

King Of The Zombies is a very fun movie for the
entire family to enjoy...This film stars comedian
Mantan Moreland who is one of the funniest men
ever in movies...Although the film is very low
budget it is well worth watching or buying just
to see Mantan Moreland...Watching this film is
time well spent and will make you feel better
and laugh more than you ever have...I would
advise any serious movie fan to watch this almost
forgotten classic and enjoy it again and
again...thanks - Jeff Johnson!
