Directed by Alexander Korda, Rembrandt (1936) takes a cinematically biographical look at the troubled life and artistic career of Rembrandt van Rijn. The focus is placed on drama over process, but is an enjoyable portrait of the Dutch Old Master in 17th Century Holland. Charles Laughton is excellent as Rembrandt. Laughton's real-life spouse, Elsa Lanchester, is wonderful and beautiful as Hendrickje Stoffels. Overall, a great production.
