So Charles is a movie legend. Good job he was an actor of his time and could elevate himself to that well deserved rank. But today he wouldn't have a chance. Doesn't have the pretty boy looks and being a lead male he certainly isn't going to have millions of today's teens clitoris's a throbbing as does numerous pretenders to Charles's untouchable talent.
Lovely selection of pictures of the wonderful, delightful, brilliant Charles Laughton - he is the greatest actor ever lived! When he is on the screen, you can't take your eyes off of him. I LOVE Charles Laughton, he's a legend!
When TCM aired Night of the Hunter, Robert Osborne commented that Charles Laughton was upset about the first reviews and poor public response to the movie. Time has proven the movie to be a great classic and we lost the opportunity to see more of his behind the camera talents.
An amazingly talented actor who could play many roles, I especially enjoy his comedic efforts. Watch O'Henry's Full House (1952) where he plays a part worthy of Chaplin. Witness For The Prosecution with wife Elsa Lanchester might be my favorite. And lets not forget his directing of Night Of The Hunter or bringing Maureen O'Hara to Hollywood.
We will not see his like again.

I discovered this montage with photos that I do not know. The accompanying music is perfect.
A regret for the non-film buffs, there are no titles of films.
I like this actor because he is, actually, the one which launched Maureen O'Hara, my heroine!
Thank you for this successful work and excuse my broken English ...

Nice photo slideshow of Charles Laughton. He's one of the reasons I watch "Witness for the Prosecution" over and over again.

A very distinguished actor who played some great roles. I can't believe he only directed one movie.

A strong character Acter! with a fine
film history. Charles Laughton had
that wholesum accent blended with
a brilliant acting ability. It was,nt always
good looks that attracted a audience);
it was Spirit and dramatic vision that
could place magic before a camera.
And this great legend had just that.
