Tracy's Portrayal

[edit]

Without a shadow of doubt, this is the finest depiction of the evil Hyde in filmdom.Bostoneire (talk) 00:57, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. Tracy was miscast and his performance was hammy. He was too old and too American. It didn't make sense that he would look almost exactly the same as Hyde and she wouldn't recognize him. Fredric March was far better as both Jekyll and Hyde. (92.13.97.148 (talk) 19:16, 3 February 2009 (UTC))[reply]

To see Tracy's Hyde, with club in hand, must make the children of sots shudder.Bostoneire (talk) 22:53, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
