Robert Louis Stevenson's cinematic legacy is studied in-depth here,
with a look at his life and his body of work. From The Sire De
Maletroit's Door (1877) to St. Ives (1896), each adapted story and
all relevant film versions are examined, including exhaustive
analyses of the 1931 adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the
1945 version of The Body Snatcher. A discussion of the process of
adapting literature for the movies, demonstrating how Stevenson's
stories have been misrepresented for more than 80 years, is also
provided.
