Kick-Back Friday: #105

Hobson's Choice (1954): Inebriate Hobson (Charles Laughton) decides that his 2 youngest daughters will marry—leaving the eldest, queen of the up-sell, to manage his Lancashire bootery. However, the managerially gifted spinster, play by Brenda De Banzie (The Man Who Knew Too Much), has ideas of her own that combine matrimony with commerce. Directed by slouch filmmaker David Lean.

So what is Hobson's choice? The answer depends on which Hobson you're talking about.
