Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (English: "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde") is a horror film with elements of drama, released in 1941. The plot of the film is based on the fantastic work of Robert Louis Stevenson "The Strange Story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", while the plot of the film deviated significantly from the original source and basically repeats the story shown in the 1931 film adaptation.

The brilliant scientist Dr. Jekyll is a happy man who is going to marry the beautiful Beatrice Emery, the daughter of Sir Charles Emery. At the same time, the doctor is engaged in chemical experiments, wanting to create a substance that can change a person's soul for the better. Jekyll takes a self-mixed elixir and turns into Mr. Hyde – an extremely evil, violent and aggressive personality. Amazed at the result, he repeats the experiment and, once again becoming Mr. Hyde, goes to the music hall. There, he spots Ivy Pearson at the bar – the girl Jekyll and his friend Dr. John Lanion recently rescued from a bully.

Mr. Hyde's evil nature manifests itself: he arranges a fight in the music hall and persuades the owner to fire Ivy, who then takes away with him. Hyde becomes her tyrant and tormentor. The unfortunate girl goes to Dr. Jekyll in despair, and he promises her that Mr. Hyde will not harm her again. But the doctor can no longer control the dark side, and that same night, turning into Hyde, comes back to Ivy. The girl, unable to stand the bullying any longer, makes a fuss and tries to escape. Hyde kills Ivy, then flees to his home, but can't get into the locked lab from the inside.

After writing a note to John Lanion, Hyde uses it to infiltrate the lab, where he takes the elixir and becomes Jekyll. The doctor confesses to his friend that he can no longer control Hyde's personality. Jekyll goes to his fiancee Beatrice and tells her that they can't be together. The girl becomes desperate, and Jekyll, who has already left, turns into Hyde and attacks her. At Beatrice's screams, Sir Charles rushes into the room and begins to fight Hyde, but Hyde kills him by hitting him several times on the head with a cane, and runs away. The police track Hyde to the house, but only find Jekyll there. However, John Lanion, who knows about the transformations, claims that it was Jekyll who committed the crime.

Jekyll says: "I'm Dr. Jekyll… I didn't do anything… I'm Dr. Jekyll… I'm Dr. Jekyll… I didn't do anything… I'm Dr. Jekyll… I'm Dr. Jekyll... " But then he turns into Mr. Hyde, starts a fight with the police, and steps on John Lanion with a knife. He shoots him with a revolver. Hyde falls, and as he dies, he turns into Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll invents an elixir that allows the dark side of man to gain the upper hand. After taking the drug, Jekyll changes his appearance (thick eyebrows and hair grow back, his eyes become mad, an animal grin appears) and behavior (he becomes violent and unrestrained). Others do not recognize him and call him a monster or a demon. After a while, Jekyll begins to turn into Hyde involuntarily, without taking the drug.

To transform back into Jekyll, Hyde needs to take the elixir again. Each of them knows about the existence of the second personality and has access to its knowledge and memories.

After being killed in the form of Hyde, after death, he returns to the form of Jekyll.
