One of the best filmed versions of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was released in 1932. The title roles were played by actor Frederick March. March won the Academy award for Best Actor for his portrayal, the first (and one of the few) for a horror movie. One downside of taking the role was the often painful application of the Mr. Hyde make-up. After filming was completed, March spent an extended stay at a hospital, as the facial distorting appliances he wore almost permanently disfigured him.
