3.0 out of 5 stars Laughton genius., 9 Feb 2004
Captain Kidd (1945)would be a footnote in a long list of pirate B-movies but for one vital element. That is of course Charles Laughton.Laughton is one of the very few actors who could make a terrible film well worth watching. There are only a handful who can do this. And but for the Genius of Laughton, this would be a terrible film. He twitches and goggles to perfection, and is utterly mesmerising- in stark contrast to the bored banality of Randolph Scott (the lead man, as such). The quality of this film is perhaps best summed up by one panning shot of "Ye merrie olde London" which makes a point of showing Tower Bridge in all its glory (Union Jack included) despite the fact that it would not be built for another 200 years from the setting of the story! Rather like making a film of the American war of Independence which features a shot of the Empire State Building! Still, for all its faults, this is an entertainingly quirky piece in the Laughton collection.
