Then salutes his daughter as she reaches the top stair; then pissing himself laughing as he falls into bed. This man was a great actor and like Alec Guiness brought a fine performance to whichever film he was in.

Beautiful film from the master film-maker David Lean. Charles Laughton excels as Hobson with great support from a quality cast.

we were made to sit through this film for our english GCSE english class back in the 80s,i loved it then and i love it know...i can still see the overcast sky through the window behind the 80s tv and vhs video combo.

Thats right. Lean also had bleak beginings for Great Expectaions and Oliver Twist. -but then we quickly enter the world of comedy. This is his only "comedy" I think. "Holiday" probably not

What a clever Dickensian beginning. Modern films rarely pay such loving attention to detail.

Sir Malcolm was just a great composer. The storming of the stairs scene here is one of funniest cues in all filmusic. Laughton ain't bad neither.

Lean great, de Banzie, and Mills. But Laughton was out of this world ! The greatest of the greats.

What a picture! Charles Laughton at his best. Love the scene( 3:35 ) where he has to make a run at the stairs because he's so pissed!
