The title card illustrates the parable of...Heathen!<br />The title card illustrates the parable of the Good Samaritan. You can't do a '20's horror movie [or any other kind] without a Bible reference. It shows the blue noses that although movies are corrupting America's Youth [and still are 80 years later]the producers know a good religous message is always appreciated.<br />Keep up the good work.gfbillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-83018145815571933552008-01-31T10:45:00.000-08:002008-01-31T10:45:00.000-08:00YES, the Fredric March version is the very best. A...YES, the Fredric March version is the very best. As for Barrymore, I'm not even sure there was much makeup involved. Didn't he just kind of create the character with exaggerated facial expressions? Brilliant if true.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://thevaultofhorror.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">The Vault of Horror</A>B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-65509996727438182152008-01-31T02:16:00.000-08:002008-01-31T02:16:00.000-08:00You have a great blog!I saw parts of this silent f...You have a great blog!<BR/>I saw parts of this silent film.

Brilliant FX, great script, and March deservedly won best actor honors for his role(s). In that one the showgirls aren't smitten with Hyde, it's more that they're terrified of him--he's violent and possessive and abusive, and there's actually quite a bit of surprisingly frank sex/id/domestic abuse stuff going on--frank for the 1930s, anyway.<BR/><BR/>The 40s version with Spencer Tracy is not as good, but it does have Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner hitched to a chariot being whipped like horses by Spencer, in a dream sequence. So that's something.The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.com
