🎨Charles Laughton, Gertrude Lawrence, Elsa Lanchester | Rembrandt (1936)...

Rembrandt, the movie, is a 1936 British biographical film made by London Film Productions about the life of 1the 7th-century Dutch painter, Rembrandt van Rijn. In a 3 December 1936 review in The New York Times, B.R. Crisler recommended the picture “in the strongest terms.”: "Charles Laughton and Alexander Korda have produced a great, rich, and glowing motion picture in Rembrandt... a picture signed all over with distinction, like one of the master's own canvases... the noblest subject and the best likeness—so far, at any rate—in Mr. Laughton's inspired gallery of historical portraits”. Inspired “to raise ... perhaps undignified cheers,” the author pointed to the film's “courageous indifference to ‘romance,’ in the cheap Hollywood sense, its surprising, rather foreign awareness of the facts of life, and its resolute hewing to a line of individual integrity and character”. In her 15 March 1937, “Shots and Angles” column in Maclean's, Ann Ross recommended the “dignified, informative and beautifully acted picture.
