Summary

"Oscar-winning actor, translator of Bertolt Brecht's Galileo, and director of the iconoclastic The Night of the Hunter, Charles Laughton (1899-1962) was a star whose name alone commanded box office and theatre acclaim. Although there have been several biographies detailing Laughton's remarkable career, this book is the first to offer a more intimate examination of his filmography of fifty-four films produced in Britain and Hollywood from 1928 to 1962. Each film is contextualized with full technical credits and cast lists, accompanied by publicity taglines, a plot synopsis, selected film dialogue, Oscars won or nominated, and production commentaries. This book offers information, analysis and appreciation of Laughton's work in the cinema and also includes comprehensive listings of Laughton's miscellaneous shorts and feature films, abandoned film projects, amateur and professional stage appearances, select radio broadcasts, television broadcasts, and audio recordings. Appendices detailing the studios, performers and cinematographers of the Laughton films are also provided for reference"--
