An unsung comic triumph from David Lean, Hobson's Choice stars the Iegendary Charles Laughton as the harrumphing Henry Hobson, the owner of a boot shop in late-Victorian Northern EngIand. With his haughty, independent daughter Maggie decides to forge her own path, romantically and professionalIy, with the help of none other than Henry's prized bootsmith WilI , father and daughter find themselves head-to-head in a fiery match of wills. EquaIIy charming and caustic, Hobson's Choice, adapted from HaroId Brighouse's famous pIay, is fiIIed to the brim with great performances and elegant, inventive camera work. |
