   > This You Tube upload lists all of Charles Laughton's movies. 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 ...

   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...
