Hobson's Choice (1954)
The story of daddy’s little girl leaving the nest never gets old. If you like that classic theme, go out and rent Hobson’s Choice. Charles Laughton plays the overbearing father of three daughters, all of whom are extremely anxious to marry and leave. Daphne Anderson is paired with Richard Wattis, Prunella Scales with Derek Blomfield, and Brenda De Banzie wins the prize with John Mills. But Papa Laughton isn’t about to let them go without a fight, and in true British fashion—propriety at all costs and dry humor thrown in for the fun of it—the family battles it out.
While it’s very obvious the film was based off a play, it isn’t overly wordy or boring like some plays are. Parts of it are pretty funny, if you like British humor, and it’s always fun to see Charles Laughton transform for a role. Check out this family comedy and see if you like it!
