Though Lean's direction is indeed too heavy and careful to give way to much laughter, he has a secret weapon here: Charles Laughton.
02/20/09
Lean's splendid frames specifically work to show the high and low status of a social grid.

Small-scale David Lean comedy with great Laughton performance.
11/20/03
Hobson's Choice is a crisply directed comedy of lively and quirky characters in a vivid world of social snobbery and working-class life...

David Lean minor classic that has grown in stature over last five decades.
