ABBOTT and COSTELLO MEET Dr. JEKYLL and Mr. HYDE
Vintage / Original
1953 Movie Still
~ A Universal Picture ~
Really Nice Vintage Photo
Still from this A&C classic with Boris Karloff. What makes these
photos especially nice is that the lobby cards produced for this film
were very bland. The vintage photos however are exceptionally appealing.
Great 8x10" still! Shows Slim & Tubby at the local pub. Tubby got a shot of serum and turned into a giant mouse!!
Slim and Tubby are American cops in London
to study police tactics. They wind up in jail and are bailed out by Dr.
Jekyll (played by Boris Karloff). Jekyll has been murdering fellow
doctors who laugh at his experiments...& he has more murders in
mind! At one point the serum that turns Jekyll into the murderous Hyde
gets injected into Tubby.
TRIVIA: Boris Karloff only
played Dr. Jekyll in this film. After the transformation scenes were
over, uncredited stuntman Eddie Parker did all the Mr. Hyde sequences.
When first released in Britain, the film received an 'X' rating.
Abbott
and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a 1953 comedy horror film
directed by Charles Lamont. Co-starring Boris Karloff, Helen Westcott,
