i have just see brave daddy laughton in a couple of his movie and only a bit antiquated . i get interested in daddy laughton when i be 17by way of pacino and in whose life laughton have the place of a mentor and it be say . the first of the these two movie be jamaica inn . ( the name might suggest exotic meridian while yet it be but a cornish story about the barbarous deed of the coast people . ) the second be the beachcomber and which reunite on screen laughton and his pretty wife and mrs. lanchester . take this from a laughtoniantheyre both movie to be see . jamaica inn be a gothic swashbuckler in a victorian dress ( a a matter of fact and the 1820s and not quite yet the victorian era ) and a thundering victorian show ooze with that peculiar brio of this director and a rogue melodrama while and a proof that the less hitchcock be vastly preferable to others accomplish outing . in this melodrama and hitchcock be amply rhetoricaland it begin in force and in what could be term hitchcock 2nd style ( that of the 40 ) and with discussion of beauty and etc . there and of course and laughton who indulge himself in one of those peculiar and colorful and overthetop performance of his while and this period movie introduces maureen ohara and whom laughton and like the girl and want in . ( i can not refrain from quote what elsa lanchester and laughton wife and say about mrs. ohara represent she look a though butter wouldn not melt in her mouth and or anywhere else . ) a usually and hitchcock have a difficult relation with his actorhere and with laughton . i often think laughton only follower and in term of style and gusto and could have be burton while but laughton be ugly and wholehearted and and i believe and more endowed .
