In the original theatrical version, once Dr. Jekyll is first transformed into Mr. Hyde, he walks up to a mirror in his laboratory. As he stares into it he questions his face saying such things as, "It's my face, yet it isn't" This is followed by him exclaiming, "Can this be evil?" In later TV prints, the earlier lines are missing. They're inexplicably missing to this day. Either the negative was damaged or the cuts were made on purpose.
Ingrid Bergman felt badly miscast in the movie, a view shared by film critics in 1941.
The studio had originally cast Ingrid Bergman in the Beatrix Emery role and Lana Turner in the Ivy Peterson role. Bergman felt the role of Ivy was more challenging and persuaded the producers to switch roles with Turner.
Spencer Tracy's appearance as Mr Hyde was disguised in cinema trailers for fear that audiences would laugh at it.
The studio's original choice for the dual role was Robert Donat.
