Title: Laughton at His Finest
Review: It is amazing to me how obscure a title Hobson's Choice is. Charles Laughton is again Captain Bly, but he is outdone by his eldest daughter who successfully stages a mutiny against Laughton's no marriage edict. When she marries Laughton's Casper Milktoast bootmaker and gives him the courage to open his own shop, Laughton faces ruin from the competition and is forced to endure and succumb to his mutinous daughter and her husband. The film is absolutely hilarious, and unlike most British comedies which are either excruciatingly dry, or founded upon lascivious humor. All of the characters are extremely believable and overwhelminly endearing. The movie boasts an absolutely superb script, great acting and great entertainment.Whatever can be done to get this movie restored and released on DVD should be done. Who do we write to AFI? Criterion? Where do we get the addresses?
