Charles Laughton (1899-1962) was among the finest actors of the 20th century and his abilities are nowhere better on display than in this film in which he plays against character. Of course for a man like Laughton, there are so many fine performances (Hunchback of Notre Dame, Henry VIII, Mutiny on the Bounty, Witness for the Prosecution,m Les Miserables) but what distinguishes this one is his character is a timid school teacher living with his mommy. Laughton is ably assisted by Maureen O'Hara and Una O'Conner.
