patrickU,
I don't know the "The Day the Earth Caught Fire" but will look for it.
J'aime beaucoup votre desscription presque poétique de "The Trouble with Harry",actually one of my favourite of Hitchcock's- a quiet movie but the humour covers a kind of sinister and surreal quality of ammorality and dismissive of death. Death is treated as it was in "The Seventh Seal"- a kind of game.
When I compared Laughton- for me one of the ten best movie actors ever- to Gwenn, it is to compare dark -Laughton- and light- Gwenn. Laughton always maintains a kind of mysterious twitchiness- both agressive and insecure at the same time while Gwenn seems straightforward and taken at face value.
By the way, are you a fan of Laughton's "Hobson's Choice" That I think is one of his greatest- along with "Bounty", and "Hobson" is in some ways more impressive than "Hunchback". It's also one of John Mills' best movies- his subtle transformation under the guidance of Brenda De Banzie, who plays one of Laughton's daughters. The best movie ever made centered around the world of shoemaking!
Cheers,
Bambi B
