I rewatched the 1941 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tonight-- and I ended up really liking it. For years, I have disliked this movie mainly due to how MGM tried suppressing the 1931 Frederic March version to promote their glossier remake. However, I must have been more chill tonight, because I really enjoyed it. It's not a bad movie at all and there are plenty of great moments. I've come around on Tracy's more "interior" take on Hyde (he is genuinely gross and chilling) and while this movie has a reputation as being more "buttoned up" than the pre-code version, it's still mainly centered around sexual repression, sexual sadism, and sexual abuse.
I mainly rewatched the movie for Ingrid Bergman, who plays "bad girl" Ivy, the woman Jekyll/Hyde lusts after. Bergman has a similar problem to Audrey Hepburn in the first half of My Fair Lady in that she's not too convincing as an ill-mannered woman from the gutter. She exudes class, even when dropping a casual "ain't" into her dialogue. However, the emotional content of her performance is stunning. The scariest thing about this film is Hyde's abuse of Ivy and how it transforms her from a flirty, vivacious individual into a frightened, paranoid wreck. Bergman is heartbreaking and more than anything else, her suffering makes you despise Hyde.
I still prefer the 1931 movie, which is better paced and more frank, but this film is good in its own right and doesn't deserve the poor reputation it still has among classic horror buffs.
