I thought "Rembrandt" was a very good movie. I expected it to not be very good because I had heard that Gertrude Lawrence's acting was not exactly cream of the crop. I thought it was not bad at all. She did a fine job. The reason I watched the movie was for Gertie. I knew I recognized the name "Elsa Lanchester" also. I just researched and found out that she played the character of Katie Nanna in "Mary Poppins". Duh. So for the record, Elsa Lanchester was from Mary Poppins. I hope it doesn't distract anybody else the way it distracted me. I didn't get to watch the movie as well as I would have liked to, because Elsa Lanchester was bothering me like crazy. I might have to watch it again sometime, if I can get my hands on it. It might be one of those movies where you have to watch it a few times to really GET it. Be prepared to watch it one day, and then again the next day. I really do recommend it, however. And also, a fine acting job by Charles Laughton. I've never heard of him before, but he did a very good job of making me believe he was truly miserable. A very good and classic movie.
