Charles Laughton : A Filmography, 1928-1962

Oscar-winning actor, translator of Bertolt Brecht's Galileo, and director of the iconoclastic The Night of the Hunter, Charles Laughton's name alone commanded box office and theatre acclaim.

This book is the first to offer an intimate examination of his 54 films produced in Britain and Hollywood from 1928 to 1962.

Each has technical credits and cast lists, as well as publicity taglines, a plot synopsis, selected dialogue, Oscars won or nominated, and production commentaries.

Also provided are 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 detail the studios, performers and cinematographers of the Laughton films.
