Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde (1925)

Giggle So, Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde starring Stan Laurel (of Laurel and Hardy fame) was fun! I have heard of Laurel and Hardy, but I have never sat down and watched any of their work. This was about 30 minutes long (give or take) and most definitely a parody of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.… Continue reading

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1913)

So, as it turns out, I had to go backward because I came across another silent adaptation starring our good friend(s?) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920)

If you could see my face right now, you’d see disappointment. I have beef. Not the fun beef that comes between two buns, smooshed with lettuce, tomato, and my choice of condiment. You see, friends, I had a post all written out on Monday night. I was clever. I was hilarious. WordPress, though, is scared… Continue reading

Every Version Of…

One of my favorite stories is The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Let me be completely honest, my first true introduction to the story was the musical Jekyll and Hyde (music by Frank Wildhorn; book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse). Yes, many musical lovers look down on Wildhorn’s… Continue reading
