Rembrandt

Charles Laughton delivers a memorable performance as famed artist Rembrandt in director Alexander Korda's biopic, which starts after Rembrandt's wife dies and his work veers toward a dark and unpopular direction. A powerful exploration of creativity and self-determination, the film shows Rembrandt living and working as he pleases, despite a scandalous affair with a young maid and the public rejection of his new style.
