Hi guys n' gals,A good while back I opined that I thought that Laughton's
greatest role was as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame,
another inmate chimed in and said he thought it was as Captain
Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty. Considering his claim, I had great
difficulty in deciding which was greater, so I gave up and divided
his greatest role in two sub-categories: sympathetic and unsympathetic, Quasimodo in former, Bligh in latter. Wherein, all
is well! I admit as to not viewing many of his films (45), IYO, am I
operating on insufficient data, am I on or near the mark?
Some might lay claims on his performances in Island of Lost Souls, Captain
Kidd, Rembrant, Spartacus, Old Dark House,Private Life of Henry VIII and perhaps others.
What's your take? - AH.
Follow Ups:
His performance as the Hunchback was superb. All ours pale by comparision.
Where he plays an excellent Senator Cooley: he simply stole the film!Regards

nt
he played him as if he had been an Englishman.
Still, he breathed life into a fascinating personality.
I greatly admire his one directorial outing, "Night of the Hunter" as well as his acting performance in "Witness for the Prosecution".
And in "Spartacus" he and the late Peter Ustinov were superb.
Yes, maybe his performance with his wife, Elsa was thee one I cherish the most, one who is very good too, is the one similar as in " Witness" that he played in " The Paradine Case ".
ah
Donīt forget the one he made with Hitch...Helas the two ego did not go well.
He had one behind the camera. He got so bad reviews that he never made a second film. Our loss.
He was a very fine actor and I love his presence in every one I have seen.
But Henry the Eight may be my first choice.
