Charles Laughton

Charles Laughton is IMO one of the finest actors of all time. My favorite role for him was in the fine film, "Witness for the Prosecution" , screen play by Billy Wilder and Agatha Christie and starring Marlene Dietrich.
They broke the mold when they made Charles Laughton. They don't make 'em like him any more.

Re: Charles Laughton

He was superb, I still watch some of his films - "Hobson's Choice" is a favourite of mine.

Was it Charles Laughton that played Cap; Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty?
