| Can some genius at Warner Bros (who now owns these great MGM titles) tell me why this in not out on DVD and yet other films are on their 3 or 4 editions???? |

| This beautiful production from the early 1930's of a dark shadow hanging over the promise of glorious love and happiness is perhaps Norma Shearer's lovliest performance. The romance between poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett was filmed with a class and meticulous care only MGM could muster. Under Sidney Franklin's direction, William Daniels' photography, and the period flourish provided by Cedric Gibbons, this became one of the greatest romantic dramas ever to be filmed.

| If you haven't seen it, and haven't read Witness in Death, here's what it's about: Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) is accused of killing a wealthy widow, and he applies to Sir Wilfrid (Charles Laughton), the best barrister in England, to defend him. But Sir Wilfrid's health is failing, and he initially refuses, until actually meeting Leonard convinces him to take the case.
Leonard's wife Christine (Marlene Dietrich) is his alibi, but she's not very believable when she talks to Sir Wilfrid, and indeed she ends ... Read More: |

| Charles Laughton is sublime as Marmaduke Ruggles, long time British manservant to the Earl of Burnstead in the delightful comedy "Ruggles Of Red Gap. After years of servility Ruggles' services are won as a result of a poker bet to Egbert Floud of Red Gap, Washington played by Charlie Ruggles. Floud, a throwback to the days of the old West, is being cultured and refined while in Paris by his wife Effie played by a haughty and domineering Mary Boland.
The plan is for Ruggles to accompany the Flouds back to ... Read More: |

| I first saw this movie years ago on AMC - I'd never heard of it but there wasn't anything else on, so I settled in to watch. After all, with the cast of stars including Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton and Edward G. Robinson, I figured it couldn't be too bad. I was wrong - it was GREAT! The story involves a tailcoat which is passed from one story to the next and affects the lives of each person who receives it. Some of the stories were pure 40's fluff and that's okay - I like fluff. But two of the "tales" ... Read More: |

| I can only guess. It's not released due to hints of beastiality in the movie Island of Lost Souls??? IF so that's just rubbish.
Island of Lost Souls is a great, classic Friday night B&W horror flick that no collection should be without. Period. But we are forced to have a VHS or cheap bootleg. Mystery Of the Wax Museum is hardly a point of discussion here, a nice to have, but Island is a MUST HAVE! Here is exactly what we need in a collection: Island Of Lost Souls Murders In The Zoo House Of Horrors Read More: |

| I had fond memories of the book and of the movie itself I had seen many years ago on TV. In viewing it again, I wonder what I was thinking then for now it is more than a bit boring and its atmosphere of 1930s feel-good socialism is almost unbearable now that we have lived through the prosperity of the 1980s.
On top of that, the VHS sound is exceptionally poor. Moral: If a film is NOT available on DVD, it is probably that unpopular for a good reason. |

| For those who didn't know, and I was one of them, a Hobson's choice is a free choice, but where only one option is really available. At the end of Hobson's Choice, a fine, vulgar, poignant and very funny film directed by David Lean, this is what Henry Horatio Hobson faces. Elements of the plot are discussed.
Hobson (Charles Laughton) is a prosperous shoe and boot merchant in the small town of Salford, England. The time is the 1880s. Hobson is a widower, a blusterer, a man accustomed to his comforts, his drink and his ease. He is, thanks ... Read More: |

| In BECAUSE OF HIM (1946), a delightful backstage comedy, Deanna Durbin was joined by two of her most popular male co-stars: Charles Laughton ("It Started with Eve"), and Franchot Tone ("Nice Girl?", "His Butler's Sister").
Based on a story entitled "Catherine the Last" by Edmund Beloin and Sig Herzig, Deanna plays Kim Walker, a young waitress in New York who wishes to become a serious stage actress. She uses an autograph belonging to esteemed Broadway actor John Sheridan (Charles Laughton) in order to land an audition for his upcoming play, "Strange ... Read More: |

Ann Seymour: "Do not attempt to confuse me by using words beyond my understanding." Bess: "I am sorry, madame, but they are difficult to avoid." ~from "Young Bess" (1953) Every generation has its own interpretation of the complex soul of Elizabeth Tudor. The 1953 film "Young Bess," starring Jean Simmons as the future Elizabeth I of England and Stewart Granger as Thomas Seymour, is a romanticized version of Margaret Irwin's historical novel. I read the book as a young teen, and first saw the film when it ran one night ... Read More: |
