Synopsis

A respected doctor divides his days between scientific research and treating the poor. An argument about human goodness encourages him to test the boundary between virtue and desire. His experiment gives forbidden impulses a separate identity with an increasingly powerful claim on his life.

Cast

DirectorsJohn S. Robertson

Inspirations

Robert Louis Stevenson's novella supplies the divided identity. Contemporary critics particularly praised John Barrymore, whose physical performance makes the transformation as important as the laboratory premise.
