I thought there was a bit of photo trickery going on there. Okay, Kirk Douglas and Spencer Tracy in the 1973 and 1941 versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, spliced together into a FrankenHyde.You are half-way correct!

That was a great match-up because Tracy and Douglas somewhat resemble each other, and even more so in their respective makeups for the roles. Nicely done!Bravo...Zombie!

I'm pretty good with classic "horror" movies. It's the "other" movies I often have trouble with, and might recognize a face or two but not be able to put a name to it/them.

I’m a movie fan since I was three and good with remembering faces.
My grandma took me to many movies when that was the only
recreation back then.
Also, my cousin Delia was the ticket lady at the theater booth
After school, I’d go in for free everyday.
This was like babysitting since everyone was at work.
At six pm my cousin would take me to the drive-in theater where
she also worked the ticket counter and candy counter.
Popcorn, cotton candy, hotdogs and cold bottle of Dr. Peppers was
my diet most of the time.
I saw many many movies.
By age 6, I had to wear eyeglasses when I started elementary.
Not sure if I would have needed glasses even if I hadn't watched
so many films.
The one that confused me when I was young was the
Bowery Boys with Leo Gorcey and Lou Costello.
I mixed them up and believed that when he wore the hat
he was mean to the other guy and without the hat, he was
gentle but got slapped quite a lot.
I’m a bad boy!"

I still have trouble sometimes confusing actors Hugh Marlowe and Richard Carlson:
Enough of a resemblance that they could have been brothers, they sounded similar, similar acting styles, etc.. The one consolation is that I'm not the only person who confused them--a number of websites state they were regularly mistaken for each other throughout their careers.

I remember this ‘50s series starring Richard Carlson.
I was very young but fascinated by the running commentary throughout the show as he went about doing his job.
The Red scare and the Atom Bomb were very popular topics.
‘50s sci-fi monster movies usually attributed these creatures or mutations
as a result of radioactive material fallout from tests being conducted in
New Mexico.
Actually...I enjoyed more the flicks by Boris & Bela from the 30s!

Probably too easy.
But what I enjoy about these dudes is their manner of speaking.
Each one different but oh so nice to listen to.
Morgan Freeman is another actor with a pleasant voice,
especially in The Shawshank Redemption.

I agree. Walter Brennan was in his 70s when I was young and that's how I remember him mostly, but I've seen a few of his earlier movies and didn't recognize him until he spoke. And sometimes it was difficult to spot Sir Cedric Hardwicke until he spoke because of whichever makeups he wore for his roles; he didn't seem to mind changing his appearance, but his voice was easily recognizable. But Spencer Tracy looks and sounds like Spencer Tracy in every movie I've seen (including Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with it's minimal makeup).

Then I'm not alone! (At last.) Marlowe played Ellery Queen on TV; I've always thought that Carlson would have been good casting as well.I still have trouble sometimes confusing actors Hugh Marlowe and Richard Carlson:

Name the actors and movie:
“It was acclaimed at the time because the critics all agreed that
the depiction of the characters and plot were true to the story."
