A London street set from Paramount’s “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (1931)

A London street set from Paramount’s “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (1931)Here’s Hollywood movie making at its finest, if you ask me. This shot is of a circa 1880s London street set built for Paramount Pictures’ 1931 production of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” I love how the key lights cut through the fog they’ve filled the soundstage with in order to recreate misty Victorian London. (And of course the dramatic camera angle doesn’t hurt, either.)
