Scott Lord Silent Film: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde 1920
Author Mark A Vieira, in Silent Prototypes, the first chapter of his volume Hollywood Horror, includes John Barrymore as titular Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde as being a portrayl that was the first Hollywood silent horror film, but only as an atypical exception, his crediting The Phantom of the Opera with beginning the genre outright. "No studio wanted to alienate a public satiated with adventure, melodrama and romance. Even mysteries had did not ensure a box office success."
Directed by John S. Robertson, the photoplay was scripted by Clara Beranger and photographed by Roy F. Overrbaugh. Actresses Martha Mansfield and Nita Naldi star with John Barrymore in the film.
