Hobson’s Choice

“Hobson's Choice is what I want to talk about. It's about people sort of like trying to do what's right for the other person and sacrificing for the other person while the other person is sacrificing for them. It's it's a gorgeous movie. Hobson's Choice. Charles Laughton. Henry VIII is another great Charles Laughton movie.”

“I would like to talk about Hobson’s Choice a little bit... I did watch this sometime in the last year and I had such an amazing, magical viewing experience... It’s like a Disney movie almost. It’s, like, wall-to-wall orchestral music, flourishing every physical gesture, and Charles Laughton’s so incredible, but, oh, so are Brenda De Banzie, who’s his daughter, and John Mills. Oh my God. Those three are all so perfect in this perfect little movie.”

“But Hobson’s Choice, starring Charles Laughton. Anything that Charles Laughton did, for the most part, I think is out of this world, and that’s why I’m getting this.”

“Hobson’s Choice. This is an early David Lean film. It’s really charming and wonderful. I loved it. Brenda De Banzie is in this, who isn’t very well known, but absolutely brilliant in it. It’s really lovely. And Charles Laughton. It’s great.”
