The Bat Whispers (1931) vs Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde (1931)
The Bat WhispersDirector: Roland West | Stars: Chester Morris, Una Merkel, William Bakewell, Grayce Hampton
VS
Dr. Jeykll and Mr. HydeDirector: Rouben Mamoulian | Stars: Fredric March, Miriam Hopkins, Rose Hobart, Holmes Herbert
Believe it or not, The Bat Whispers wins this one because the visuals were a lot more creative. The strength of Dr. Jekyll is the story but I can’t credit the moviemakers for that one, and the visuals just weren’t as good IMAO.
