When discussing whom to cast as Jekyll/Hyde, studio head
Adolph Zukor
initially suggested
Irving Pichel
for the part. Director
Rouben Mamoulian
turned it down because he wanted an actor who could play both parts convincingly and felt Pichel could only play Hyde. Phillips Holmes (I) was considered and rejected for the opposite reason: he would have been a good Jekyll but a poor Hyde. Mamoulian then suggested
Fredric March
. Zukor felt that this was a bad choice because, up till then, March had been featured in mostly lightweight roles. Mamoulian insisted that March was perfect for the part, and Zukor acquiesced. In addition to winning March the first of his two Oscars, Jekyll/Hyde was the part that finally led to Hollywood taking him seriously in more demanding roles.
