This was a close one, but if you put their two Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movies side by side, March is the clear winner. So he gets it for me. I also feel like he tackled more challenging roles overall.
However, I don't mean to disparage Mr. Tracy, who was of course a fabulous presence in whatever he was in. As I said, close call.
Love the picture from DESIGN FOR LIVING..
