Absolutely lovely film. Brenda equals brilliant work from my 2 favourite English actors. Not sure modern audiences could stand such long scenes in a filmed play but David Lean has incredible images to add in. Lean made world class smaller movies before all the epics and I love Ryan’s Daughter too.

Good to see that Brenda de Banzie received a TCM night. I wish the host had talked about her performance in Hobsons choice. Brenda de Banzie stole the whole movie. A great performance by a great actress. I find that the TCM hosts rarely do true service to older actresses and character actors who contribute to a film by their performance.

She was excellent in Hobson's Choice, but "stole the whole movie"?? No Sir, not for me.

she did steal the movie. Love Charles Laughlin in it too. glad to see the whole movie beginning to end for once.

It's more than "a comedy'. Insight into the layers of the working class. Hobson looks down on the skill of his 'boot 'hand' WMossop. Wants to keep Maggie a spinster for his own comfort, yet demeans her as another one of 'the fools of women'.
