Do we have any       devotees here? He was probably at his best in historical costume parts, such       as Henry VIII, Nero, Captain Bligh, Rembrandt, Quasimodo and so on. He was       also first-class in        several modern-day parts, as in "The Big Clock" (great 'film noir'), "Witness       for the Prosecution" and his last movie "Advise and Consent." I guess one       should ignore the war-time 'turkeys' such as "Stand by for Action" and "The       Man from Down Under" but        remember him at his best ...        >        > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltIt0lHcKSM&t=393s        >        > Also essential viewing is the documentary detailing the making of the       unfinished "I, Claudius" in 1937. Laughton couldn't get into the part and the       'rushes' show him forgetting his lines and stalking off the set while the       extras stand around with        severely disapproving looks on their faces...        >        > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUbt0sweIjI               Laughton also co-directed -- although not credited -- The Man on the Eiffel       Tower.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
