This story adapts well to radio because you can have a lot of Jekyll-Hyde arguments in Jekyll’s head, and your imagination can be used to picture what Hyde looked like, which is somehow more satisfying than actually seeing it. Frederick March reprises the role he played on screen to such acclaim and he’s very good; there was always a touch of the ham about March, and he uses that to good effect here. I particularly liked the ending with Hyde pleading for help from Jekyll, his only friend… but none comes. Barbara Bel Geddes offers support.
