Lost Film: Der Januskopf (1920)


Der Januskopf or "Head of Janus" in English is a 1920 German film directed by F.W. Murnau. Much like when F.W. Murnau directed Nasufratu in 1922 this film is an unauthorized film adaptation of a book. This is an early film adaptation based on " The Strange Case of Dr. Jyklle and Mr. Hyde" a book written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886. 

Names were changed and various other things as well. While the film is known to be lost now there are scripts and production notes do.
