Hobson'sChoice/ The Sound Barrier (DVD)
Two films. Hobson's Choice - Tyrannical Lancashire cobbler is brought down by his eldest daughter, who is determined to make something of her simple-minded husband by opening a rival shoe shop. Directed by David Lean, this is a delightful 'working class' comedy, featuring superb performances from Charles Laughton as the boorish father and John Mills as the simpleton husband. Winner of a BAFTA for Best Film. The Sound Barrier - The aerial sequences in this high flyer from director David Lean are truly breathtaking and Richardson is superb as an aircraft designer so obsessed with breaking the sound barrier that the sacrifice of his son's life and the love of his family become secondary to achieving his goal.
