Hobson's Choice (1920) | BFI National Archive

Fa parte degli Orphan Works del British Film Institute
Durata: 80 min.
The first of three film versions of the famous Salford-set play by Harold Brighouse. It humorously depicts the travails - caused by his three daughters and a gauche| but talented| employee - of the dipsomaniac cobbler| Henry Hobson. A faithful if largely studio bound adaptation is enlivened by a gallery of engaging performances| especially Arthur Pitt as the inebriated and indolent Hobson. This video is part of the Orphan Works collection. When the rights-holder for a film cannot be found| that film is classified as an Orphan Work.
