Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

A bit of trivia about what a Hobson´s Choice is...

...which I´ve just found while googling to know something about that film:

"The saying "Hobson’s Choice" is proverbial, having passed into common usage from the practices of one Thomas Hobson, a Cambridge livery stables owner and wagoner. At his stable the customers had no choice of horse but the next one available, and hence no choice at all."

And it seems that this work has been playing in London theatres since 1916, on an almost regular basis...

Now in a film, by David Lean, and with Charles Laughton..., I will keep an eye on that!

Thanks for bringing it here, Patrick.

Best,

Bernardo
