  • Where can I find the intro for Hobson's Choice in better quality?

  • Where could I find a better quality version of the song?

  • did hobsons choice at school 16 years ago best thing did with english,lol

  • Great opening scene ' Laughton running up the stairs drunk ! so brilliant .

  • one of the favorite films of Morrissey

    great great film

  • The dividing line between Laughton and Hancock evaporates when I listen to this theme . . .

  • Hang on, David Lean got me to a tea! :o)

  • They put these old b & w films on the telly during the day time and all the modern crap on at night. I keep forgetting to record them

  • 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.

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

  • 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

  • i have a copy of the film,its my most favourite movie ever, brilliant stuff

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • more proof that fat actors are the best.

    before hollywood betrayed them.

  • What a film composer Sir Malcolm Arnold was!

  • 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.
