I'll have to try my disc again in my new Blu-ray player. I think the freezing I experienced was in my old Sherwood, which wasn't reliable.
Was this whole movie made on the MGM backlot? If so, that's an amazing job by the set designers; I definitely thought they went down south for at least a few scenes.
Laughton's best performance ever (maybe in The Bounty was as good, but it's ages since saw it)?
NoooooLaughton is always good, but no way can you say this is definitely better than his performances in Advise and Consent or Witness for the Prosecution
