Fredric March played the lead role in the 1931 film version of "Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde."Ten years later in 1941,Spencer Tracy would also play the lead in in the movie"Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde."

I never thought about it before but you're right. Except that I would call it Dr. Jekyll meets Mr. Hyde since Tracy was better as Jekyll and March was a hundred times better as Hyde.

To each his own. How about Miriam and Ingrid? I think Hopkins should have won an Oscar.

Personally I preferred the March version. Pre-codes FTW.

...and both have been in Hell for several decades now, as a consequence for flipping the bird to God by appearing in this evil & ungodly film...wherein they are the lapdogs of the ultimate, real-life Dr. Jekyll...a.k.a. satan. The end.
