Oh, that film got me bawling. My, my, my, it was so sad! She realised too late how grateful she should have been for Charles. It's a pity she could not help him to get into the theatre and I wonder how he could carry on in the streets as a busker, but at least she helped him to feel alive again and wanting to go back to his little group. What a trio! Leigh is enchanting, cruel, childlike all at once, and Laughton the good actor he is, move us to tears, and Harrison, yes, he is good old Rex Harrison, no disappointment there. They made much better films in the old days. Of course, sometimes they still make good ones, today. But they made a dozen good film and one weak one and now they make hundreds of bad ones and a few good ones. Thank you for the upload I loved it.

[@lylux4985]

Yes, she realized that if it wasn't for Charles she wouldn't be where she was. She showed gratitude and love that restored the self worth that was taken away from him❤❤❤

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Her next picture would be Gone With the Wind. What a perfectly splendid film.

[@Catssandra13]

Any film starring Charles Laughton, Vivien Leigh and Rex Harrison is worth watching.

[@trishwoodward2716]

No naked bodies, no bashem crashem, just excellent acting and real life emotions!

[@sandgrownun66]

Why were you looking for naked bodies in an old film. Are you a voyeur?

[@Brembelia]

Laughton was totally amazing in this. I've always liked him in other productions (Jamaica Inn, Henry VIII, Mutiny on the Bounty, Captain Kidd, Witness for the Prosecution, and many more) but this showed a vulnerable side of him like no other. Awesome actor. 🎉🎉

[@nimrodJohn2009]

Charles Laughton was a most wonderful actor. His ability to convey longing and pathos is heart breaking to watch. It's lovely to watch all these old long forgotten, magnificent films on KZbin. Thank you.

This film was released in the US under the title Sidewalks of London. The many street performers on London's theatre district's sidewalks were known as "buskers."

[@berjaboy]

Great movie, but It was fairly well known that Charles Laughton and Vivien Leigh did not like eachother, or get along. According to Rex Harrison, the making of this film was a horror show because of the high tensions on the set.

Oh poop, just watched the colorized version but like black and white better. Great movie though. Wish I had seen this one first. Laughton is brilliant.

[@esmeephillips5888]

Hugh Stewart, one of the film's editors, called it 'dreadful' and said he and the other cutter, Robert Hamer, had to work on the first and second half in mutual ignorance. Stewart said that Laughton and Leigh did not get on. 'St Martin's Lane' was the only film directed by Laughton's co-producer at Mayflower, Erich Pommer. He was an exile from Nazi Germany, hence the expressionistic look and Laughton's hints of Emil Jannings in his part as a grandiose but humiliated personality (cf the Hunchback next year). His persona here is a weird mix of Jannings and Graham Moffatt.

…The movie is from 1938, and I suggest making sure your subtitles are turned on, and my I Pad and I Phone have a better, louder sound quality than from my computer, and if needed, some small ear phones/buds and you will hear the movie just fine.

"Hollywood should never presume" -- WTH does it have to do with this movie? You missed your woke committee meeting and decided to preach in random places?

[@robynalvin2849]

I wish they shot more films back then in color. What was the deal anyway? How come so many films were shot in black-and-white? The natural beauty of Vivian Lee does not show as well as her other pictures.

[@fredneecher1746]

Because b lack-and-white is an art form in itself. Also because good colour processing had not yet been developed, and when it was it was very expensive.
